Default Determining a bad coil...

I have tested my coils in my car and redid ALL of my grounds and I still get an extremely pathetic spark which happens to spark a few times and just quit after that when I crank the engine.

What the fuck is going on? The resistance is reading at 0.6 ohms which is good considering it should be between 0.2 and 1.0 ohms. What could be making something like this happen? I would just go ahead and replace the coil-igniter assembly, but they run $250 or more, and I highly doubt that it's actually failing.

Fuck. Think I found a problem... About 4 ECU wires (including a ECU ground) were damaged to the point that they were almost nearly severed. I found it under my carpet.
