Quick question about coil pack test

[duffman1278]

I read somewhere that you could test the coilpacks but that one of them had to have 12v going through them. Just wanted to make sure which one it was, and if the voltage should be coming WHILE I crank or not? I have done the FSM procedure and I get resistance, but I want to make sure theirs voltage going through.

please help?

Im confoozeled, what are you trying to test for, if you are trying to see if they are sparking, just pull the plug out, stick it into the end of the pack and lay it on top of the valve cover, make sure the threads are contacting somthing metal, then have a buddy crank the car. You may want to disconnect the injectors while doing this, so the engine doesnt try to start.

Thats wierd cause like I tried that this weekend and for some reason when I asked my friend to crank it, the car made a clicking sound like a relay clicking. It was pretty rapid too. and the engine wouldn't even crank
