Coil Pack testing

I did search and came up with both yes and no. Can u really test our coils with a ohmmeter. I have a actron CP7677. I'm having a little trouble doing the test. Can anyone help me. I have no CEL but at a stop i can feel a slight miss. Thats why i think a Coil can be going bad.

in my opinion, however, this is not a conclusive test. if the transistor is indeed shorted, then the coil is definitely bad - but just because it is not 0ohm doesn't mean the coil is good. there are many other intermittent failure modes possible with an electronic component such as this.

i did the test using the method in the HOW TOs and it worked, but it only worked when they were hot or warm...the cold ones i had in my storage room tested wrong, but when i put then on and ran them a few miles, they tested out to be fine.....

Replaced the one's where the resistance was low.And it doesn't miss anymore. Thanks for your help.
