It's not a fool proof way, but you can take out a spark plug and reattach the HT lead to it. Then place it very close to earth (the engine casing or a long wire coming from the main earth point) and turn the engine over. If you see a spark at the plug end, that part of the coil is working. Repeat the exercise for all four plugs. If one doesn't work, replace the HT lead and the plug with units you know work well. That will isolate them as the cause. If it still doesn't spark, you'll know you've got a dodgy coil bank.

Btw, please remember these things put out one hell of a lot of volts and amps. Make sure you're not earthed when carrying out this exercise.

Good luck and let us know how you got on.
