my car has a terrible miss and it was put on computer and it said the 2 cylinder was not firing. We are putting in new spark plugs but we are wondering about the coil pack and need to know how many oms it is suppose to put out. Can't find info anywhere. This car is costing me a fortune. HELP!!!!

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
