I Have A 96 Pontiac Firebird And When I Start It Up It Shakes And The Service Engine Light Blinks I Know Its A Misfire I Was Told It Was Either The Coil Packs Or The Spark Plugs And Wires I Changed One Of The Ignition Coils Made A Tiny Difference But Not Good Enough So I Tested The Resistance In The Coil Packs One Read 8.7 And Another The Same Then The Other One Read 5.3 Does That Mean Its Bad?

I would replace the plugs, wires and the coils. If 1 is bad, the others will be close behind.
