To check the coil packs on a Chevy Colorado, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Disconnect the electrical connectors from the coil packs, then remove the bolts securing the coil packs to the engine. Inspect the packs for any visible cracks or damage, and use a multimeter to test the resistance—typically, a reading of 0.5 to 1.5 ohms indicates a good coil. Reinstall the coil packs and connectors if they are in good condition, or replace them if any issues are found.

However, some models may use a single coil-on-plug design, eliminating the need for separate coil packs. Always check the specific engine configuration for accurate information.
