Coil / ignition packs do not require routine replacement - use them until they fail.

A key symptom is engine misfiring, maybe getting worse during damp/wet weather. Tough to see the backside of the engine where the coil mounts, but look at it at night to check for stray electrical shorting - could be coming from where the plug wires attach to the coil, or a cracked coil housing.

NOTE: Misfires are NOT ALWAYS caused by a cracked coil - plug wires and various other factors contribute to misfiring too.
