Put the probes on the coil sides to test the secondary resistance which should be around 5.43K ohms
set the multimeter to 20k ohm and you should get around 5.4 Some coils have read higher or lower at 5.42. If it reports O.L throw it away, it is badopen lead, this is showing a short on the secondary resistancebad spring/suppressor assemblybad insulator boot
set ohm meter to 200 to test for primary resistanceplace leads on the terminals and look for range of .5 I got anywhere from .5 to .9
