If the coil is not sparking at all, you can do a resistance check across the the positive and negative poles, if you have infinate resistance the coil is for sure N.G.. If the problemis intermitant you will have to see if the coil is getting a spark signal when it is not firing. If it is getting a signal and not firing (and your ground is good) the coil is N.G..
