Random cylinder misfire ignition test results

[The Frog]

I have a 97 Eagle Talon TSi with stock 2g everything except the 1g turbo and bov. I recieved a cel code p0300 driving on the highway. I pulled the plugs and one was fouled pretty good and the others were black. I put new ones in and reset the ecu. Driving on the highway, I let off the gas fast in 5th gear and the engine bucked and a few seconds later got a cel. I haven't checked the code yet, but I am thinking it's the same p0300, so I did some tests to the ignition system.
The coils primary resistance should be between .70 -.86 ohms, and I get 1.4 ohms when hot and 1.1 ohms when cold, and the secondary resistance are within spec.
I fallowed the Haynes test procedures of the power transistor. No continuity with or without a 1.5v battery conected.
My question is, will the car still run if these components are bad? The car does start and drive, but I don't want to buy these components if this isn't what's causing the random cylinder misfire.
Thank you for your time.

I'm in the same boat as you. My original coil pack tested 1.2. I bought a coil pack from the local junkyard, but unfortunately it tested the same. I put that one in regardless, but it still ran the same as well. Haven't tested the transistor yet.

I also tested several other sensors that were out of spec, but 6ES plugs, and adjusting the end of the plug wires that plug into the coil packs, so they make a better a contact, stopped the cel from coming on. I drove about 300 miles and still no cel, and seems to be getting a little better gas mileage, but under boost it doesn't feal as smooth as it use to be. I guess it's time for a new ignition system.
I taped a wire to the negative of a AA battery and the other end to the negative probe of the DMM, and the wire taped to the positive of the AA to a small female quick disconnect, and used that to test for continuity in the transistor. The Haynes book says not to go over a 1.5v battery, and not to leave the battery connected for more the 9 or 10 seconds. By having the positive side connected, all I had to do was touch the negative probe to the pin for a second to see if the DMM beeps for continuity.
Good luck with your 2Gb.
