John, I respectfully disagree with your statement: "If it's bad the car won't crank." I think you wanted to say: "the car wont start". I'm sure you know that the pick up coil has no affect on cranking the engine via the starter motor.

It will normally read about 600 ohms cold +/- 5% then up to 700 ohms hot. It's just a coil of wire on a plastic bobbin. If it's bad the car won't crank.
