Default Metering Coils 03 v6 Accord EX

Backstory:

Have my 03 with 90k, thinking its time to do a tune-up, I change out the coils and plugs. I screwed up and bought non-NGK plugs. My bad, I am a crappy Honda owner. Was having random misfires. Went to dealership and they told me Valve Angles were slightly high at .09. and that I shouldn't have bought non-NGK. I have since then purchased new plugs (NGK) and installed them. When I changed them out, I am still having misfires.

Coils as most of you know are not cheap. I would like to get a multi-meter and check each coil. I am wondering if anyone has ever tried it and if so, which pin is power, ground and so on? I'd like to find out which coil is causing me trouble.

Please help me, I am a Honda Noob. Coming from the VW side, its a big change for me.

They went to see if I needed a valve adjustment, number they pulled was .09 and they look for .082. Meant to type adjustment

Testing a coil is (apparently) over your head. You will get nothing substantial using a meter. Take it to a shop. Seriously. You lack the tools ,training, or understanding.



Again, take it to a shop.(Not the dealership,they are a joke)
