Best Answer

take a test light. ground the test light to the battery then take the test light and move it around the suspect spark plug if the plug wire or spark plug are cracked or defect the spark will go to the test light and you will see the spark. if you don't see any spark its not broken.

You can also use CheckSpark to quickly evaluate all your plugs and identify bad plugs and wires in seconds.
