Default Burning up coils

Hey guys, really need some help here. Long story short, i found out my coils were bad, replaced them with good coils, and now those are bad too.
im going to start tracing wires back tonight to see if i can find anything.
But if anyone has had this problem before and can point me in a good direction that would be great, thanks.

well turns out the coil isnt bad. tested it with my dads multimeter and it read ~13 ohms on the primary side, test it with my dmm and it read around 3, where it should be. so any ideas from here? spark plugs are a little over a month old, but ill probably replace them anyway.

What is the problem?

You were wondering about burning up coils, but they are fine.

it randomly cut out two cylinders, ended up being a fouled spark plug.
but i thought it was a coil because i used a cheap multimeter to test resistance on the primary side of the coil and it read high, used my meter and it read where it should.
