Michael,

I was just looking this up yesterday.

Synthetic Stucco or EIFS is soft and sounds hollow when tapped.
Traditional Stucco is hard and bittle, and sounds solid when tapped.

Signs of stucco problems could include:
Mold or mildew on the interior or exterior of the home.
Swollen wood around door and window frames.
Blistered or peeling paint.
Cracked EIFS or cracked sealant.

I hope this is helpful, I would wecome any furture info that anyone else my have.
