How can I tell which coil pack is bad?
How do you tell if a coil pack is bad? With the engine idling, unplug one coil pack at a time. Unplugging it should make the engine run much rougher. If the engine doesn’t change, then that coil pack isn’t working.
Can you still drive a car with a bad coil pack?
You can drive the car until it breaks down completely (and it will). While doing so you will, as pointed out by other answers, run the risk of damaging the converter but you also run the risk of fire. Bad coil packs can quickly destroy your catalytic converter. Replace them ASAP.
Should I replace all 6 ignition coils at once?
