How is it that you know you have a failing coil pack?

If you have a scanner...and assuming you're misfiring, you can find the cylinder and correspond it to the coil pack...that is if it's not a P0300 which is a random misfire.

Check out the autozone site... they have a step by step on how to probe them under the repair guides.
