coilpacks can be tricky little things, my experience is they can be tested if in singles i.e classic shape but i couldnt tell whay reading youre looking for but im sure theres a write up on it here somewhere. also worth checking your earth connections for corrosion etc, although that would have indicated a miss on cyl 4 and 2 but not if single, cheapest option is to hope it throws a light again and detects a miss on 3 now then just renew the coil. quite often fail in pairs also..hope this helps..
