IML: Testing coil



Is there a SIMPLE way of checking whether a coil is bad with an ohm meter? I'm really having a miss problem at mid-range STATIONARY. I don't feel the miss under load when cruising. I have checked /replaced everything except the coil. If I put my timing light on the high tension of the coil I can see a flutter in the light as is misses mid range. Is this an indication that it's the coil or is this a false reading and could be anything else? Can the coil be shorting internally within it self? (I looked at it at night, no sparking). I know coils are supposed to be bullet proof, but im at the end of my rope. Would a diagnostic machine help identify the problem?
I'm tearing my hair out!
Thx,
