Need a Little Help, Can Someone Measure Secondary Coil Resistance

Ok guys, I've been trying to isolate a problem with my truck, and I've come across a bit of nuance. I'm going through the FSM to test the coils, and I've come up with an anomaly. Below shows how to test the coils for the 5vz V6 engine.

”Cold” is from 14°F (–10°C) to 122°F (50°C) and ”Hot” is from 122°F (50°C) to 212°F (100°C).



Primary coil resistance on my coils tests fine. However the secondary resistance is way off. On all 3 of my coils, the secondary resistance is testing out in the magnitude of kilohms instead of ohms. So either all three of my coils are completely fucked, or the FSM is wrong in not one, but two spots. It wouldn't be the first mistake I've found in the FSM, but I'd like some confirmation.

Would anyone with an ohmmeter be willing to pull off one of their coils and measure the secondary resistance as outlined in the diagram above and report back? Only requires a 10mm socket to remove the coil and a small flat blade screwdriver to pop the end of the plug wire off. Rep and accolades provided!

Thanks

 

Test the resistance exactly as depicted in the bottom part of the picture I posted. One end of the meter will be inserted into where the spark plug would be at, the other end of the meter touches where the spark plug wire would attached.

Can be done hot or cold, just let me know what the resistance your meter shows and whether it was hot or cold.

 

Actually yeah, it feels very similar to a missfire, but not exactly. Its more of a thrusting/surging feeling. Only happens under moderate acceleration or going uphill. At WOT sometimes it feels normal, sometimes the truck feels absolutely gutless. Seriously ,my truck feels like a 4 banger right now instead of a supercharged v6.

I wasn't worried about testing both hot and cold. I just provided the hot and cold values specified by the FSM to correlate to the acceptable ranges of resistance depending on whether the coils are hot or cold.

Thanks Monte!
You definitely have it hooked up correctly. Since you have the meter set at 200k, that means the resistance measured is 12.5 kilohms right? Which is right on par with what I'm measuring my coils at with my Fluke. Looks like the FSM is wrong.

Back to the drawing board.....

 

Yeah I really didn't think I had all three coils took a shit at the exact same time, but anything is possible.
Damn truck. I hate and love the bitch equally.

 

Thanks for the ideas. I started to respond but realized it may be better off just to start a new thread as this thread title is misleading. I answered your questions here:
