just want to check if these are in good shape. I have a spare coil so want to test it without putting it on the car. i also want to test the fuel injector on the car itself. i am not sure if the coil will show up on vagcom as faulty if the spark is weak.

coil won't show up in ecu fault memory on mk3s. neither will injectors necessarily (may come up with a fuel adaptation error or similar).

coil will have a fairly high resistance and certainly output stage (where king lead goes on to) should have a high resistance in kOhm area to GND.

injectors will be low impedance, you're talking a few ohms, maybe up to few tens of ohms.

mind you both are inductive so they have a complex part to their resistance, I would imagine the input stage of the coil might even have a non-linear resistance because there might be a power transistor / semiconductor in there...
