How do you check for spark? Car cranks but does not want to start. I have no codes and have good fuel pressure.

Thanks.

Pull a spark plug boot off and hold it about 1/2" from ground (heads, engine block) and look for a spark. Better yet is to buy a spark test tool (< $10). This allows you to adjust the gap and prove that you have a hot spark. I've experienced weak sparks caused by failing coils that would not allow the engine to start.

 

Is this what you're talking about?

If so would I have someone turn the engine over while I watch for spark?

 

Yes that's the tool and yes you'll need to turn the engine over to generate spark.
