if its moulded u have to actually cut the wire and see whether the wire is good or not........
if its good u can purchase the plug with isi mark (or UL) and unscrew it with tester/screwdriwer and fit the wires as follows
IN THE USA, for 120 volts, the colors usually seen on cords are
GREEN for ground / earthing
WHITE for neutral
BLACK for hot leg / live wire In other countries it may be other colors such as:
Green or the earthing wire
black or the neutral wire
red or the live wire now accordingly instructions are printed on ur plug........
green wire in the topmost pin
red wire in the pin were "L" is mentioned
black wire in the pin were "N" is mentioned
if ur wire is not in condition please approach a registered electrician for further clarification......gonecase17@rediffmail.com

Problem sounds like either ignition or fuel system, meaning bad plug wire, moisture in the electrical system under the hood or bad fuel, clogged injectors. Sounds more like an electrical problem to me, maybe even a bad spark plug.
Gas leaking from Honda rebel spark plug why?
Could be a few reasons, and can't be pinpointed without me actually seeing it "in action". But here are the most likely reasons, in order of likleyhood: 1) Spark plug not tightened to proper specs. Fix: tighen plug to proper specs with torque wrench. 2) Spark plug "washer" bad or gone. Fix: Replace washer. 3) Spark plug seals bad. Fix: Replace spark plug. 4) Bad threads in spark plug hole. Fix: Retap, or "Helicoil" it. 5) Crack in head near spark plug hole. Fix: Replace head.
1989 mercedez Benz wont start up?
There are two main reasons: fuel and fire. First, check for fuel. Buy a can of starting fluid and spray into the air intake while cranking. If it starts, then you have a clogged fuel filter or a bad fuel pump. To check for electrical continuity (fire), remove one of the spark plugs. Reconnect it to the plug wire and connect the spark plug body to a jumper cable, grounded to your engine. Try cranking the engine. If you don't see a spark on the plug prong, then you have: a bad plug, bad plug wires, a worn rotor, worn distributor cap, or worse of all, you've jumped time (your timing chain broke or is too loose).
