Testing 4 litre coil packs
This year 2 coil packs have been changed on my 99 V8. I had a diagnostic test on the car and apparently the other 6 need changed.
How do I test which packs are good and which are bad?.
I have 4 of those gizmo's that you put on the plug between the HT lead and flashes when the engine is running, they worked on my X300 but.... to get to the S Type plug you have to partially strip down the engine
Could they be tested with a test meter on the 2 electrical terminals?.

I understand in practice you can sometimes tell they're NOT working but trying to test them is a mug's game. Those things you describe really don't cut it with today's ignition systems - though again, if they show a fail then it's a fail. They're likely to suggest a pass when it should be a fail, however.
