    If it's bolted to the engine it's gonna be slightly warm at least from engine heat, not to mention radiator air blowing on it.

    ASD supplies power to + side of coil. So unless you triggered your ASD to run the fuel pump and power the coil, your test won't show much. Maybe the resistance through the fuel pump to ground.
