yeah just take the plugs out and crank the car while holding them you will see them spark :). just don't stand in water when doing that hehehe.

:whoa Umm, you'll want to ground the plug somewhere (touch the threads to the valve cover, or something) so it doesn't shock you. The charge has to go somewhere, and you won't want it to go through you...

Do that ^ to test for spark, and pickup a fuel pressure tester at a local auto parts store to be sure you have fuel pressure.
