Choking max..same problems as others

I have a 92 se auto....and I read others posts about their cars sputtering on the highway, with the tach needle jumping and their cars going nowhere (almost as if the trans was slipping) and the power light on the trans mode switch blinking....
I was wondering where is the best place to start tackling this problem:
Ignition coils?? If so, HOW DO I TEST THE COILS MYSELF? I already brought the car to two dealerships who said the car ECU tested fine, and the trans computers/connections were fine as well.
Also, power locks go haywire....I try to lock them from inside and they jump up and down like crazy (almost as if to trap me in the car)????? Thanks.
