Checking for spark?
This may be a stupid question but...
How do i check if one of my plugs is getting spark?
Is there any way to know if it is or not?
Thanks...

quick check i just stick a plug in the wire and ground it aginst something and crank engine or use an inductive light. if you want to see if the park is strong enough get a spark checker for around 10 dollars.
For a few dollars you can buy a tester at the local parts store. It looks like a spark plug with a ground clip on the side. Very handy little thing to have. Beats getting juiced with 30,000 Volts if you happen to give the spark an easier path to ground through your body than through a screwdriver, pliers or whatever you use to hold the wire in position to test it otherwise.
