I tested my coil packs and the harness attached to them. I'm getting 11.48 volts to each of the harness ends. TSRM states approximately 12 volts is the norm. Now, is there any leeway to that # and also is there something besides the harness itself that would cause a lower voltage(besides the battery I'm guessing, which tested fine)?
Also, I'll throw this out there too: I tested each coil pack and got a resistance of 0.6-0.7 ohms each while the TSRM states 0.3-0.5 is the correct range. Also tested 3 other packs and they were between 0.5-0.7 so is it safe to assume that measurement is close enough to spec or my multimeter just isn't that good (~$60 Craftsman)?
Ultimately it comes down to "Well Dude, is your car running with these numbers?", and the answer would be no. Cranks but doesn't start, no codes(had a 12 at one time and a 14 another, but they're both gone now after some tinkering and haven't come back after several start attempts), but that's something I'm not asking for help with just yet. Just need the answers to the specific questions above. One of the few things I've changed since it was last running was the coil pack harness because the clips were in very bad shape (I no longer have that harness) so I am leaning towards replacing it with a new piece now, but I don't want to pull the trigger just yet.
