Check to see if the coil has power. Check to see if the coil has continuity (not open or shorted).

No power or an open circuit within the coil are about the only thing that prevents them from working.

Check for power by probing the voltage at the connections, with the engine running.

Check for continuity / open with a voltmeter. Check both the primary and secondary sides of the coils in the suspect pack (there are two coils in each pack).

If I'm following your question correctly, yes, the coils are identical and interchangeable.
