No, a bad coil will not drain the battery.
symptoms are: you can hear the engine missing, spitting and sputtering, loss of power...you can tell if it is a coil pack by unscrewing the spark plug that it connects to coil pack. when you look at your spark plug it should be a light grayish, white..this means the coil pack is working....it is best if you do this with new spark plugs, because your spark plugs could be bad. but you do this process until you find a bad plug then, that coil pack probably is the bad coil pack.
Bad coil wire, bad coil, etc...
Auto Zone will check your codes for FREE. Have your codes read. This way you will know which one is bad. It can be a bad plug or wire; it can also be a coil pack going bad. I had the same problem and it ended up been the plugs and wire. I change them and everything is good now...
Perhaps bad coil or coil pak?
Bad coil? Bad coil wire?
If you don't have a known good coil wire to substitute, try hooking a spark plug to the coil wire and grounding it to the engine. Then crank the engine to see if there is spark.
