How do I know if I have to replace my coilpack/s?

How do I check if its dying or if its dead? Do I have to change one if one is bad? Or do I have to change all 4?

On the other hand, I have a "shaky" idle. I already changed my plugs and air filter but it didn't smoothed out. Im also planning to change my fuel filter soon. Is the shake associated with a coilpack? Thanks.

I guess my point is >>>

fresh is good! and it is inexpensive...i never liked the idea of changing one coilpack that goes bad. Runs with the idea of replace 2 batteries of 4....these things are so sensitive to voltage as it is...
