The best test for a coil in my opinion is to use a HEI coil test plug. They put a fairly large load on the coil and give a nice visual and audible indication that you either are or are not getting spark, if it can fire the HEI test plug it will fire in cylinder.
Chasing a random misfire. I’m starting to think it has something to do with my PCV system(oil residue and dirt/grime all over valve cover) . Car has 120k miles on it and I’ve had this misfiring issue for 6-7 months if not more now. The misfire is noticeable at WOT and idle. Under light loads the car drives perfectly fine .
