Misfiring problem

Ok so here's the problem. My car, a 2000 gsr, started bogging down on idle and while driving about a week ago. The first day, it just was bogging down and I had no acceleration. The next day I drove it up town to a friends and the CEL came on and it was bogging down what felt like to be a little more. Anyways I've posted this on this site and on others but haven't gotten an answer that has worked so far. Well we checked the code and it was misfire on cylinder 1,2,3,4 and random misfires. We checked the spark plugs and they were fine. We checked the wires and they were fine. We looked at the distributor and it looked fine. I didn't drive it for a couple days and we just replaced my dis. cap and rotor. I just took it for a drive and it was still bogging down and the CEL was either flashing or staying solid on. I reset my ECU and the problem is still here. Maybe the ignition coil? Or anything else?

Ok well we just checked my ignition coil and ICM and on the primary test, we got 1.3 instead of .6-.8. On the secondary test, we didn't get anything to show up. On the ICM test, we got the light to light up but it didnt flash, it stayed on. So do you think this is saying that the ignition coil is bad? or the distributor as awhole??
