2002 Ford Taurus How to test wires and coil pack?

Hi,

I am getting some hesitation in my car under acceleration. I will be giving it a tune up with plugs, wires, etc. Also, I would like to check the coil pack. 1) Is it possible to test a coil pack with a multi-meter?
2) Also, what is the best way to test spark plug wires?

Thanks for the help!

Jared
