>>>You can buy a spark plug wire tester at an auto parts store for under 
five bucks.   There are two kinds--one wraps around the plug wire, and the 
other is an in-line unit that goes between the wire and the plug.   Both light 
up if the wire is transmitting energy to the plug.   I've used both with 
great effect; the plug-in style is much more convenient.
