Those figures are way above the actual resistance of 4700-5000 ohms which is typical of spark plug internal resistance. Technique counts.
After you converted to a "non-resistor" configuration, you should have used the 200 ohm scale to more properly gauge the result of your efforts.

I didn't really look into the measurements of the plugs prior, I was just concerned that there was some resistance in then and that after the modification that resistance would be gone. I did toggle between 200 & 2000, but the overall goal was to get zero resistance in the spark plug itself. The showed zero resistance after the modification. I don't know whether 200 or 2000 matter, but I'm assuming since the plug is now a non-resistor plug, it should not matter what the dial is set to as the values should still show zero. I still have some Bosch HRDC0 plugs, I can test those with the different scale values of my multimeter. What should the values be of the resistance of those plugs?
