Can I check for spark on the sr20det using a screw driver near the tip of the coilpack and a ground? I dont think Im getting any spark...

just have the car running and pull a coilpack off at a time. whatever plug is not firing, you wont hear a change in the engine when the coilpack is removed.

Well right now the car wont start. So I'd like to check to see if my wiring was correct. It all seems correct per all the wiring guides online. But my car only cranks and cranks but wont turn over. Should I change the plugs... they look pretty fouled up (all black right now)?

I pull the coil pack then pop in a spare spark plug and ground the threads of the plug with jumper cables
