My Jag at high speed or low speed will hit and miss. It is annoying. Sometimes it dies but starts right up. While its running you can barely notice any problems, but underload it is very noticeable. The Jag seems to lunge back and forth.

I feel it is the ignition coils or a faulty plug. I need to know can I Ohm my coil to check its serviceability? If so what is the reading I need to fall within the limits of the coil?
