Your should be able to ohm out the coil if it's bad or not using a digitial multi meter. A good coil has a certain acceptable resistance and a bad coil is out of that specification.

I don't know the exact numbers for your car, but you can probably find that in any haynes manual.

Or just download the FSM

But hard copy is indeed useful at times.
