cbox, An old-fashioned mechanics test is to take a screwdriwer (hopefully, with a WELL INSULATED handle), and short out the spark to ground at each spark plug, one at a time. When you short out the spark to the cylinder(s) that is missing, there will be NO change in engine RPM's or exhaust sound.

If you get "zapped", a hand or elbow may jerk and make contact with HOT or moving parts!
