AUII Coil & Lead Help!

[WannabeXP]

Hey Everybody,
I'm in need of some help. I have a 2000 xr6 manual. It runs rough occasionally so i finally got around to checking the leads and coil pack. The plugs are new (<1000kms). So i got out the old multimeter and measured the resistance, I'm just too thick to understand what it means.
That's were i need your help.
The Leads: 1. 8.3 Kohm 2. 8.25 Kohm 3. 10.6 Kohm 4. 8.6 Kohm 5. 8.4 Kohm 6. 8.7 Kohm.
In the haynes manual it lists: 1. 12-24 2. 11-23 3. 10-22 4. 9-21 5. 9-21 6. 7-19.
My understanding was that the lower the ohm the easier the current travels through the wire? I'm not sure
Now for the coil pack: Primary test cp1. 1.7 cp2. 1.7 cp3. 1.2
The standard for these was 0.6 ohms
The secondary test was from the lead terminal to the other lead terminal on each coil pack: 1-6. 10 2-5. 10 3-4. 10
The standard in the book was 9.2 kohm.
If anybody can shed some light on my situation it would be awesome.
My conclusions are that there stuffed but couldn't say for sure.
It runs better on gas then petrol but still not perfect.
To start it i have to sit on the starter for longer then i expect needed in my opinion. probably 2-5 seconds sometimes, occasionally takes a few goes.
Since ive checked the leads its started to stall and carry on a lot more but only in neutral(its a manual). so when i pull up it starts coughing and stalls most times since i removed and refitted the coil and leads. This doesnt happen when it is driving. Before i pulled them off it would only happen ocassionally and would not drop out completely just drop to 200rpm and go back up to normal idle.
When i tested the leads and coil pack i double checked that all the boots were fitted correctly.
The multimeter i tested them on only has one resistance setting so i cant help much with the accuracy.
Hope some of you can help me. Stalling the car everytime i need to stop is aggravating.
Cheers in advance
