Do you always get a CEL on a blown coilpack?

Classic symptoms. I'm driving up the street and the car sputters and dies. I try to restart it but when I do, it sounds like a riced out civic and they sputters out.
The first time it happened a few months ago I got a CEL. This time, I didn't get one. Does that mean that it's something else?
And I'm sure that I must have blown 2 cause the car would at least run if I had only blown one right?

Nope, I have had two go and the second one showed symptoms on and off that morning driving to work but no light. It finally did go that afternoon on the way home from work but there was no light

Check your check valves and suction pump. If its not a coilpack, it could be one of those. My suction pump blew up and it disabled my car completely, ran like shit for a little then my steering went, then my breaks, then my car shut off. Doesn't sound like that's your problem. Could be a bad check valve and/or coilpack going.

I'm sure it's a coilpack. At least I only made it 2 blocks from home, but the crappy thing is my car won't stay on long enough to get it back home so I had to leave it there. Good thing I'm in a decent neighborhood. I'll head to the stealer tomorrow and buy a couple.
