If the coils, and in particular all 3, were bad, I would not expect the car to run very well - if it ran at all. If the meter can read the low resistances properly, I'd suggest to buy just one coil and try measuring that for comparison.
You may want to take the meter in to Radio Shack, and have the sales clerk test it.

I returned the radio shack meter and went to sears a bought a better craftmans but, it still read zero on all three coils can't understand that....I'll see if this weekend about the resistor and maybe i'll buy one single coil and test the resistance on that one.
I'll keep you informed.

That'* certainly good news as far as the coils, but not for solving your problem. 
Time to go back to this step and check the voltages.

They were listed on the previous page, but it would make it easier to have it together on this page also.

COIL 4_1 6.12
UNMOUNTED
THEY WERE ALL THE SAME 00.0
So i was not sure if the car had to be hot to to test the coils..After warming up the car
did the test again
mounted all coils were in the same range of 06.3
unmounted they were still 0.00
I little confuse here ..I will be taking a ride so the engine can get hot and i will do the test again....I also took pics bu,t do not know how to attch them here.[/img]
