Camaro newb Needs help! Coil Probs i think

So after car dieing out and not starting up at emmisions how ironic......

anyways got a fuel gauge it reads 43 psi then i checked spark... no spark so yea i found this from shoeboxs


To test the coil, went to msd site to find acutal ohms
Primary Resistance: 0.45 ohms
Secondary Resistance: 5.5K ohms

i tested all four they're all at about 5.30 on my ohm meter

the coils good??? I searched still im still lost... if you guys think the coils still good what should i do next... its got the msd ignition box too...

thanks guys I just need a lil help before i waste all my money and my time!!! !

Your test means there are no opens in your coil windings. Bypass your ignition box for testing and check that there are firing signals getting to the ICM.
BTW, PLEASE post basic info on your car. (the sig is a good place for that)

When you use an MSD harness to install an MSD box, you merely unplug the harness and plug everything back to stock. If it is hard wired, then it's not really going to be easily done.
