Hence it being in General Chat!

I have multimetered the coil from the Volvo due to getting a very lethargic and weak spark. (won't start)

My findings are:

Multimeter set to ohms, between +ve and -ve terminals (off the car) returns a reading of 00.0-00.01 when apparently it should be between 0.75-0.81

HT connection to either side terminal returns 07.3 ohms not the 10,000-11,000 a healthy coil should produce.

Sounds totally cattle trucked? I don't know how to measure ohms, but surely I just flick the multimeter to that setting and read the display, right? lol

It's perfectly fine, just burn the car already. Novas are better.
