It is a good idea to do both since they work together one can make the other go out. Here are guides and instruction on how to test the system:
Check primary resistance across positive and negative coil terminals. At 68°F (20°C), it should be 1.0 - 1.3 ohms.
Check secondary resistance between primary positive terminal and ignition wire terminal. At 68°F (20°C), it should be 6 - 30K ohms.
Check insulation resistance between either primary terminal and coil case. It should be 10M ohms or higher.
Replace coil if it does not test as specified.
Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.
