Default Spark Plug wire ohms

Hey,

What is the tolerance for the plug wires? three of my wires are reading 5.23-5.25K ohms and the other wires are running 4.82 ohms. The plug wires are rated to 5k ohms so my question is if the .23-.25K ohms enough to prevent spark? Car currently won't start.

my haynes manual states wire resistance should lie between 4k and 6k ohms. looks like your right in spec. just a shot in the dark here (not really) i'd check your ignition control module
