Charles,

At best, that test is inconclusive. At worst, you can be shorting out the coil driver on the DME board.

Why don't you start with the secondary side of the coil? Are you getting sparks at the plugs? Why not pull a plug wire, get a test plug, the kind that attaches with an alligator clip, and see if the DME is sending a signal to the primary, therefore inducing a current in the secondary and giving you a spark? That is also more valid as a diagnostic test.

Good luck!
