I recently bought one and was having some random problems while driving; things like when coming to a stop the engine would cut off completely but i could start it back up without a problem,while driving down the road the engine would cutoff momentarily but stay running, a noticeable miss while driving.
I have used the Autozone duralast coils before without any problems and they measured correctly 11K -13K but it has been quite a few years. The coils Autozone is selling now has a lower secondary resistance than what they used to have or what our cars need.As we know 11K - 13K ohms is what we look for when testing the coil. The coil that autozone sells now has the secondary resistance of 6K - 12.5K mine was reading 8.2K on all 3 pairs.
I normally check the coil before installing them but i can't remember if i did this one or not,so i don't know if it was in the 11K ohm range and dropped down to 8.2 ohms on all 3 coil pairs but thats what it was reading. When i took the coil back to autozone and they tested it and also tested a new one and it read the same 8.2 ohms.
If you have a coil from any auto parts stores i would check them to see if they are the correct 11K- 13K ohms for our cars.
I opted for a cash refund which they did without any problem.
