Take each plug lead off one at a time and hold it close to an earth on the car, (engine block) Turn engine over and see if there is a spark comming from the lead to the earth. Most time's it is better if you just replace the coil pack, they are knowen to give prooblems.

Grounding of an ignition system's leads may cause damage to the ignition coil and or electronic engine control system. This procedure is not advised.

Use an approved tester at the end of the sparkplug lead and follow the procedures for outlined for it's use.
