Default Coil pack help

My sc400 has had loss of power, shaking and the exhaust sounds horrible. I replaced the drivers coil pack and it started running better but took it for a drive today and it started doing it again. Is there a easy way to test the coil packs? Any help would be appreciated

Yes, though Im sure you already figured it out. Unplug the suspected faulty coil and if the engine dies or starts running really rough, the coil is still good. If nothing changes, the coil is bad and needs to be replaced. More often then not it is the drivers side coil that goes out.
