Hi Paul,
Resistors generally don't change resistance more than 0.02% per deg.C... not
much of a change...
Is it possible that the 3 ohms that you measure on a sport coil is just the
resistance of the coil windings themselves and the increase in resistance
with temperature is just the increase in the resistance of the windings?
