Easiest way to check them in my opinion is if it's misfiring, that means the engine is shaking. Unplug the wire on the coils #6 and #8, if the engine doesn't began to shake anymore than normal, then your coils are fine.
That was my ghetto method of checking them, and it worked for all three of my coils that went bad
