You can check with a ohm meter, but honestly, I have no idea what the value should be.
Perhaps someone has a repair manual and can provide the value.
An alternate method would be to measure and record the values of all your coils, and compare.
A bad apple should show itself that way.

My 97 was easy. Get the code read. Mine was "cylinder 1 misfire". Got a new coil, replaced the #1 coil. CEL turns off. Good as new. I assume that if it was another cylinder, the code would reflect that.
