I will do the wire test.
The only issue is I don’t have a shop at the moment and my truck is on the side of the road and the entire neighborhood would be enraged with me if I went there reving the engine up right now.
My neighbor already hates my truck says its too loud complains about it to me all the time.
So tomorrow night when I get off work when it’s not too late I’ll do what you suggest and report back.
So you reccoemnd breaking the strap off an old plug and putting the wire on it and laying it on valve cover and starting it and let it run without a plug in that cylinder? Is that going to be ok?
