The wires/boots may be older and leak voltage easier. If you are going to pull wires off while the engine is running looking for a dead cylinder, pull them off at the cap instead. Your chances of getting zapped are less. This procedure is not recomended because you can damage parts of the ignition system in doing so.

Check that battery has power. Check that coil pack has power and is grounded. Ground out one spark plug and see if there is any spark.
