Sure.

Find the sticky in the Camry forum with the online manuals, and run the checks for ignition.

If you've been looking at, or testing, the coil--then you're warm. The ignitor is located right under the coil. It's an integrated part.

You cannot test the coil output with a multimeter. You test the lower level voltages and ignitor inputs, pickup resistances, coil resistances, etc.

Just follow the diag procedures.

Oh yeah, and if you're not planning to buy a Haynes/Chilton's/Toyota Service Manual (though I recommend one of these), try this link. It's been posted in about 4 million threads:
