Thumbs down 1990 ls400 help

How is everyone? I have a 1990 lexus ls400 that runs like it has absolutely no power..., I put new plugs roters wires and caps on it and one new ignition coil. The one by the ac compressor. As soon as you touch the gas it just doesnt move. It was running good and then it started running like crap turned out to be a busted roter so i replaced all of it at once figuring it needed it since it has 231000 miles and i didnt know any of the previous history on the vehicle. When we bought it it needed a starter so i had never heard it running before the purchase. It was only $600 though and it had all the dents pulled and it was primered before purchase so I thought it was a deal and he towed it 60 miles to our house. But anyways back to the problem I have no idea what the problem could be. It didnt jump timing I think and the roters are on right. How do you test ignition coils ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
