Default 96 Accord V6 no start

Tried to start my car this morning and it's dead. So far I have

1) Changed plugs
2) Check for spark - spark is yellow and orange
3) Checked resistance on coil tabs A & C and the meter read 0.00. There is continuenty
4) Checked for voltage on the ICM - Voltage is present on the yellow and green wires
5) There is fuel - plugs were wet and the pump primes.
6) Changed rotor

I'm thinking that the coil is weak? Also how can there be no resistance in the coil?

Change the coil the coil should have resistance even with the battery unplugged.

I checked the new coil and it had zero resistance also across terminal A & C! I took a gamble and swapped out the coil anyways and it started!!! Runs as good as it did back in 1996!
