There is no correlation. This is unlikely related to your problem.

So, would be I be correct at this point to understand that you're saying the cracked sensor in my distributor (the small coil of wire; no correlation to my ignition coil) is what is unlikely related to my problem? A yes or no answer to that question should clear up my confusion/uncertainty about this, if you don't mind. And thanks again. |
Risk of sticking my nose in & guessing what Tex means...
Sounds to me like you're already measured a bad ignition coil. But maybe the crack in the timing sensor (in the distributor) is also a problem and therefore a new coil might be necessary but you will still have the other problem. |

If a new coil fixes my problem, I'll probably just go ahead and just replace the distributor to avoid further problems arising from that cracked sensor in it. Also, is it all common for those sensors to develop cracks in them? I wonder what the heck caused it to crack anyway. |

What you're seeing is a molded plastic cover. They harden w/ age/heat and develop shrinkage cracks. You could apply a bit of silicone RTV, but unless you get a code for that coil, I don't think you'll have problems.
Finally figured a way to print reduced size pdf file. Enclosed is image of ignition coil circuit from 1994 Accord manual. good luck |

Sorry, I thought he had measured an open-circuit on the coil, where there should've been some finite resistance. Probably I'm confused about which terminals were measured, etc.

Terminal D must be strictly a test port on the coil. It is not documented in the 94 manual I have. Your picture does not show a D location on the coil. That A-D resistance spec appears no where in Honda manual. No combination of series or parallel of primary and secondary could account for that resistance.
