Default 2000 prairie no spark

i've cheched all i can think of the switches and wires but i checked the coil pickup and it was 120-125 ohms could someone tell me if that is about right and also should it change while turning over?

Ignition System
. Measure the primary winding resistance [A] as follows:

Connect the tester between the coil terminals.

Set the tester to the x 1
range.
. Measure the secondary winding resistance [b] as follows:

Remove the plug cap by turning it counterclockwise.

Connect the tester between the spark plug lead and terminal.

Set the tester to the x 1 k
range.
Ignition Coil Winding Resistance
Primary windings : 0.09 0.13

Secondary windings : 3.8 5.8 k

If the hand tester does not read as specified, replace the coil.

To install the plug cap, turn it clockwise.
Ignition Coil Primary Peak Voltage Inspection
NOTE

Be sure the battery is fully charged.
. Remove the spark plug cap (see Spark Plug Removal), but do not
remove the spark plug.
. Measure the primary peak voltage as follows.

Connect a commercial peak voltage adapter [A] to the hand tester [b]
(250 V DC range).
Special Tool - Hand Tester: 57001 - 1394
Recommended Tool - Peak Voltage Adapter
Type: KEK-54-9-B
Brand: KOWA SEIKI

Connect the adapter between the G/W lead terminal of the ignition
coil [C] and the engien ground [D].

Install a new spark plug [E] into the spark plug cap, and ground it to
the engine.
To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the spark
plugs or tester connections.
. Turn the ignition switch ON, rotate the engine for 4 5 seconds with
the transmission in neutral to measure the primary peak voltage.
. Repeat the measurements 5 times for one ignition coil.
Ignition Coil Primary Peak Voltage
Standard: 100 V or more
If the reading is less than the specified value, check the following.
Ignition Coils (see Ignition Coil Inspection)
Pickup Coil (see Pickup Coil Inspection)
If the ignition coils and pickup coil are normal, see the Ignition System
Troubleshooting chart on page 16 - 30.
Pickup Coil Removal
. Remove:
Alternator Cover (see Alternator Cover Removal)
Pickup Coil Mounting Bolts [A]
Plate [b]
Pickup Coil [C]
