Sorry mate. You can't check capacitor's "goodness" with a
VOM. You can check a capacitor's "badness" with a VOM. For
that matter, you can't check for "goodness" with a simple
capacitance meter, either.
Your VOM pumps out what? Nine volts? A capacitor might
"look" good when being tested with nine volts, but as soon
as you put it in the real-life circuit with 400 volts, it
will leak electrons like classified information through
Scooter Libby's mouth.
