This whole thread is getting rather silly and I'm surprised the moderators haven't pulled it.
The poster has now started two threads with incorrect assumptions, i.e. fuel pump and relays, has questioned ALL our comments, based in my case on 40 years of auto-electrical and diagnostic experience, in Oldspark's case 25 + as an electronics engineer.
You've burnt out at least one relay from bad testing.
Coil and HT leads are running into reactive loads, a continuity test at rest will tell you nothing! Think of a speaker with a nominal 4 ohms (IMPEDANCE not RESISTANCE). That will change as different frequencies are fed to it.
Again look at engine management or test the voltage from the BLACK lead at the ignition switch when you start and try to run the car.
Please change your attitude or any future posts are going to get no replies.

Thanks for the help you have given me here. However we are definitely on different wavelenghs here in terms of how we discuss these issues. So I withdraw my questions..

Again it is NOT a personal attack. I thought that was quite clear from my follow up. I didn't know what other term to use other than ignorance without verbiage that meant the same thing. (Remember, I write technical, not social trend english).
But if you do not NOW understand or see that, please let me know so I have drop this thread before I insult any further. Sticks & stones - how insulting!
A resistance test in inadequate for HT lead testing. It is to be tested in situ with HT coil and a splug.
AFAIAConcerned, HT lead and spark reliability was not established.
No sarcasm on the switch. In my parlance, the switch is electrical. Anything else is the actuator. I was reflecting that your "switch" is my "actuator". Now I know how to reinterpret your writing, and define my "switch".
So yes, you have a "jumper" relay and the engine still stalls.
Cool, now we can move on. Ignition testing after the coil is now irrelevant. Next stage IMO is sensors.    
But, are you able to take my technical language without posting offense?
