Yes, under the cap is dry and no obvious cracks or damage.

Car starts, runs, takes a little throttle then dies.
Your meter probes have their own contact and wire resistance, which should be around .3 - .5 ohms. That resistance should be taken into account and added to the tested device resistance when testing very small resistances like those of a coil primary. Your original coil was probably OK.
