A coil with that kind of resistance probably has a break in the secondary winding. It has been arcing across the break, making a carbon track. It might even produce a spark and surprise you by starting and running–for a while. But as it does, it is arcing across that break and burning the ends of the wires back, making the gap wider and wider. Eventually, it is the end of the line for that coil.
