Coil Packs

I was wondering if there was a way to check and see which one of your coil packs are bad. Anyone know of a way?

Unplug/replug them one by one and see if the idle changes.

Or check their resistance.

Every time you unplug a coil, the engine will run even more "ruff".

But, when you unplug the coil that is bad, the engine will run the same.

Think about it.
