How to check ignition wire continuity?
I posted that I had a bad misfire problem, flashing CEL...I threw on new coils and it seemed fine but after a hard romp on the gas the problem returned.
Now 2 things. 1 I did not bolt back down the hard wire looms to the valve covers because I was just checking it out, 2 the connection to Cylinder 3 seemed loose.
I did not have a scanner on it before I replaced the coils so I'm not sure if it was the same cylinder with an issue.
I pulled the wire looms off and nothing seems cracked or broken on the wires although the plastic collar just before it goes into the weather pack is broken but the wires seem fine.
It just could have been a loose wire but now that I have it apart I don't want to put it back together until I check the wires.
How can I check the wire continuity between the ICM and each cylinder to see if I have a bad wire?

when checking your ignition wires continuity, only remove it one wire at a time. if your car's engine is hard to start maybe you have a bad wires. so you need to replace your ignition wire set, anything over .05 means that your wire has failed and the circuit is broken.
