It is a distributerless ignition with the coil packs. I found a chilton's resource that talked about getting an ohms reading of .4 to .8 from the coils. I found a reading of 1.4 on each of them. new fuel filter, I tested and found a good psi reading for fuel pressure right by the fuel rail. after the fuel filter change I noticed a little more firing when turning the car over i believe. I will test the plug wires out. I also thought I might have a bad ground somewhere seeing as that could make my resistance higher. I remember reading a thread about a guy who had a bad ground to his dme, I believe, it prevented him from getting started too so i dunno. any way to check out the pcm?
