After heating the coil in a 200 degree oven for an hour!  Expansion from
high temps is what causes the internal shorts, which may go away when the
coil is cold.  BTDT, more than once!

Digging around, I found this...(from a Porsche mechanic ) so likely close.


Coil Resistance Check
Primary...0.4-0.6 ohms
Secondary...5000-7200 ohms


Does that seem about right?
