V6?

pull all the plugs out, and crank, watch for spark, no spark means bad coil

or take it to autozone, they can test some of them.

adria, so you are saying that if i take the three DIS coils off my alero, and bring them in they can test them for me (i've been having a, "hard cold starting" issue for quite some time, it started good yesterday, but we will see about today.)

Yeah they can.. You could do it yourself too. It's just a primary and secondary resistance check.
