Coil is OK...resistance between the two primary terminals should be a few ohms and your analog meter might not be able to pick it up. Ignition module is possible, but first check that the battery voltage at the battery is close to 12 volts or at least >11volts. If fact, if less than 10 when cranking the car will probably not start, because the ECU shuts off around there. If OK voltage at battery, clean battery terminals and grounds at crossmember near radiator and on trans case. See if voltage at coil is still low when ignition is on. if so then suspect module or wiring.
