Failing Coil Packs?

I've been getting the wonderful Random Cylinder Misfire about once every three months since March, and Sunday it finally became a Cylinder 4 Misfire, so I figured it's time I get this fixed. I pulled my front 3 coil packs to test them since cylinder 4 is there and I wouldn't have to pull the IM. Did some research on the org with testing the coils using a multimeter, and did that to mine. Here are my results:



Most other people that I saw in threads got 4 resistances, I only got 2. Plus, #2 and #6 are identical, whereas #4 is a bit different. I wanted to get anyone else's insight on whether these coils are bad or not. I know there are other things that can be causing the misfire, spark plugs or injectors. I have plugs coming in tomorrow and I'm doing the full set considering I just passed 82k on my 03. Also going to replace the valve covers with those from an 04. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

find it kind of wierd for the front ones to go, especially since you only have 82k

You think they're gone? I'm not sure, I'm just trying to compare to other's results on the org.



There's the info from this thread http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...ow-w-pics.html

Just not sure if the fact that I only have 2 readings mean that my coils are gone.
