Have them set the parking brake,
hold the foot brake,
put the car in a forward gear, and to watch the tachometer.

With the engine running disconnect the fuel injector connectors, one at a time to determine which cylinder is not making a differance.

This only works if the engine has a miss at the time that you are testing it.

The ones that make the most differance should have good coils at time of testing.

This is the easiest method IMHO.
Tom, thanks, at age 20+ I think the coil test is in order.
