Do I have a bad coil pack?

My car doesn't start. I get nothing. I turn the key, all the stuff turns on, but no ignition whatsoever. Could it be the coil pack? I checked resistance through it and got about 20 k ohms. What is it supposed to be anyone know?
Thanks
Austin

Your right it's not my coil, OEM specs are 14-22 so it's good. I figured out I had a bad starter ground under the dash. Only figured that out because I'm also currently installing a alarm so everything was ripped apart already.
Thanks

i had the same thing... However the alarm was already in the car i thought the starter interrupt was stuck on. I ripped the alarm back out thinking that was it and it still didnt start then i tested and bad ground under dash.. I put it all back in and started it and it worked..
