pontiac bonneville coil pak resistance test

[Mikeblo22]

I took the advice of the club and tested the coil pak. the reading should be 5.08 for my 97 pontiac bonneville se. I got readings on secondary windings of 6.88 - 7.02 on all three coils. are the coils bad. I didn't disconnect the battery (negative). Would that hinder the reading or do I just need to replace it, or is being off by 1000 ohms alright. really no ignition knowledge. thanks mike.

i would say its a little worn, but still good.

when they go bad, they will have less resistance as the coil of wire touches before the end, corrosion causing excess resistance is pretty un-common
