If the coil is dead the car would vibrate pretty violently at idle and would be lacking power at higher RPMs. Dead coil would no doubt throw a misfire code. Don't deive too long with bad coil as it will cause catalitic converter to fail. If the vibration is low to moderate I would check Vanos solenoids and eccentric shaft sensor.
