Take it to Autozone. I think they can test them.

With out a book in fromt of me.....the coil it self should be about 8Ω's on the primary side
COils today seldom go bad....let me clarify...if the car is running...it's not the coil but may be a connector at the coil....the coil outputs are notorius for corroding.Joe Lutz

Stick your finger in the end of the coil wire and have someone crank it over.

more likely, it's the coil driver that's gone bad (what the coils sit on), but the saturn coil packs (whole unit) are notorious for failing due to their location on the engine. your best bet is to test for voltage at the driver connector and then replace the whole unit.Trees aren't kind to me...
