how do I test the coil packs? (2001 max)

[Dirt114]

I have a multimeter, but I dont know which of the two pins to connect the meter to and I dont know what I'm looking for either. Can some one that knows just chime in here quickly, I'm in the middle of working on it right now

Thanks in advance!

also, here is what the plugs looked like. (front 3 plugs)


and here is the breif story I posted already on my other forum:
"Its almost like its not getting fuel cause this pic is right after cranking it over. but on top of that, i stuck the plug into the coil pack and grounded it and cranked it over and there was no spark on any of the front three plugs. so im not really seeing the fuel on the plugs but i cant tell cuz im a noob but im leaning towards spark sense its for sure not getting spark.

can someone tell me how to check if the coil packs are good? I have a multimeter but i just dont know which two of the three pins I should be testing. (check for ohms right?)"

Thanks thats very helpful. I made a few calls and found out that the new ecu needs to be programed at teh dealer so that should get done today and that should get it running. its all downhill from there!
