Ignition coilpack problem

[LTUDSM]

I tested my ignition coil today, Cylinder Number 1-4 has 13.73 ohms. Cyl 2-3 reads 0 whats wrong? New ignition coil?

If the resistance is infinite than yes the coil is bad.

what do you mean infinite?

Infinite means no connection basically. When you hold one probe in one hand and other probe in other hand. No touching. Nada. By the way, that should be 13.73kΩ or 13,730Ω (ohms)

BUT if it gives you the same reading as when touching the probes directly together, it may be shorted coil pack. Not sure how often that would happen but it's possible...

well i tested my spare coil pack,and both coils had 13.25Ω. So i replaced one to my spare one....
Problem Solved.......
