1) Inspect (very) closely under a good light source the coil pack's insulation for cracks - sometimes they can be hairline and difficult to see.

2) If in doubt, connect an ohmmeter across pins 1 & 3 and check resistance. They should be 0.3 - 0.7 ohms @ 20 deg. C. Anything out of this band should be replaced.
