    What is the best way to check for spark on these new cars? Way back
    before solid state, we would just pull one of the plug wires and put a
    spark plug in the end of it and ground the plug and crank the engine. Is
    there a better way using a piece of test equipment? bob

    You can use an ignition scope if you have one,or one of those spark
    testers.(neon?)

    If it uses spark plug wires, then that's still a valid test. Just be you don't
    crank it without the plug being grounded.
