Have a 1994 automatic cabriolet with what I suspect is a faulty coil, difficult to start, Rev counter bouncing all over and very
low on power. I have no code reader and due to the battery now being very close to discharged no way of getting car to a garage. If I were to remove each coil pack individually would there be any tell tale evidence on the suspected failed one?

TIA.

Thanks, will check for air leaks first, also air filter while I'm there.
Have found a local Garage that is willing to come and carry out a Diagnostic test, so hopefully may be able to
pin point the problem.
Incidentally, have been looking on Realoem for the Crankshaft Position Sensor and it doesn't appear to be there, even when
I do a search on there for it.

Wonder if the below could be partly to blame for my non starting engine problem

Seems very underpowered for my car.

Btw, checked all rubber boots and all ok.
