DIY test to see if the coil of our car is burned

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Ignition coil

In this video, the youtuber suggests a very simple system (although you need to have a basic knowledge of electronics) to check by yourself if the coil (or coils) of our car is in good efficiency. We will only need an inductive effect revolution sensor, and a LED, connected by a simple electrical wire, as shown. Let's start the car, place our sensor on one of the spark plug coils and see that the LED lights up; this means that the voltage is coming. It is definitely not like checking it with an oscilloscope, but we will certainly be able to find out if there is voltage on the coil.
