Default Ignition problems??

My question is... I have a 95 Honda accord 2.2l non-vtech. External coil pack. What is proper ohm resistance readings on coil, out of car? Im thinking this may be my problem. Car starts and runs flawless for a minute or so. Then dies and won't restart for a hr or so. Then usually on runs 10 secs then dies. I've replaced ignition switch, main relay, wires and plugs. I'm thinking it could be coil or icm in distributor? Pulled cap and rotor and cleaned them up a little. They had alittle corrosion but no oil from seal being bad in distributor. I can't find in info on what the the proper ohm resistance should be on external coil test? So that my first question. Thanks, in advance!

You can take the Ignitor into an Oreilly’s and they can test it at the store. I’d have to look up the resistance on the coil give me one second

The resistance should be between .6-.8Ohms

Ok thanks! what settings on ohm multi meter? I've never had a bad coil pack before. On ohms multi meter, I have 200, 2,000, 20k, 200k, and 20m. On one readind im getting a 2.2. And other a .08

Here's a couple of pics of coil... and I bought a Haynes repair manual it says to test between A and C terminal but does not tell you proper ohms resistance? Is this right?

Set it to each setting and then touch the probe tips together and it should show zeros. Use the setting that shows you 0.0 when you touch the tips together

Yes you test between points A and C and the specs for the resistance are the ones I mentioned up above

The factory service manual also says to check the resistance between A and the coil output to the distributor. It should be 14-22 kOhms (14,000-22,000).
