Coil packs dont normally go out. They either work or they dont.

You would find out with an ignition spark checker.

ignition spark checker OR a spare spark plug. Unplug the boot, install spare plug, ground it, have someone turn the car on for a second, look at the spark.

timing light, just hook it on each wire until you find one that won't make the strobe work
