[ROVERNET - UK] Question about spark plugs

Brooks restore at nbnet.nb.ca

  I'm sure there are many other ways to tell...however the easiest for me is 
to simply remove and reinstal the spark plug wires one at a time from the 
end that connects to the plug...if the engine runs very rough or stalls the 
plug is working ...if there is no change in the sound of the engine you have 
located the culprit. Keep in mind that a bad wire will give the same results 
as a bad plug....so once you locate the correct cylinder you may have a bad 
wire ,plug or even cylinder.

 Hope this will help.
