Sounds like a set of noid lights might come in handy to see if the injectors are firing...

Although car batteries are pretty safe if you're careful not to short them, modern HT systems are a bit nasty. If I need to check for a spark I generally wire a strobe light in series with a plug and aim it through the windscreen so it's visible when cranking rather than doing the old trick of holding a plug against the block.

I used to shrug off electric shocks as an occupational hazard but now I'm a lot more careful in my old age
