It may not be possible to bench-test a coil pack and get an absolutely good or absolutely bad finding. When my '92 Maxima frequently stopped dead, a Nissan mechanic reported (on their internal information system) encountering a similar complaint. He suspected an ignition problem. He removed all six coils, and tested them on his bench; they all tested O.K. But the car's engine continued to quit. So, he removed all three coils (one cylinder bank at a time) replacing them with new ones. When the engine quit, he knew he'd idenified the bank with a bad coil. He then replaced each of those coils with a new coil, one at a time, until he identified the bad one. Again. that coil tested O.K. in the shop. Why? probably because it was failing under the heat and vibration during operation. You have two choices: (1) Buy a new coil, and use it to replace one coil at a time; it will take a while, but eventually you'll find the find the one that's misfiring. Or, (2): Buy a complete set of new coils--expensive but time-saving!

How to troubleshoot bad coil pack?
Auto Zone or other parts stores should be able to use an OBD II reader to diagnose the problem and tell you which coil pack is bad. Replacement is simple. Simply remove two screws and replace the coil pack. I just went to Auto Zone to have the modulator checked on An '87 Maxima and they told me it wasn't in their book.
