Engine misses badly on cold start

The engine misses and runs really rich on cold start up. Seems like a spark issue, coils are 10 or so years old. Is there a way to test the coils without removing them (coil on plug)

Yah sounds like a spark problem, First inspect your plugs to make sure they are in working order/good condition (FREE
). Then if no faults are found you can use this

This bad boy simply goes on top of the plug and measures KV If the cop is getting the signal to fire but not firing this will let you know!
This is basically one of the best version's i have found but very expensive
