Your car doesnt have much load at idle, put it in gear and its working against the transmission.. ignition faults are easier to detect this way so an easy method is to drop it into drive and hold the brake while applying gas, techs can see primary and secondary problems alot easier.. may not be coil related directly but low current to some of the coils, or lean misfires from bad/restricted injectors,/low fuel pressure, cld be a dirty/faulty mass air flow sensor. Thats why diagnostics are important bc its not always as simple as just throwing a coil in it
