Ps, I remember from my 'Mechanic School Blog' that Mark DTM said the resistance check was a poor test and that thebest test was an adjustable gap spark plug. If you read this Mark...

Do you mean hooking up the spark plug in the removed coil pack and grounding it to the head whilst cranking.... and then adjust the gap mm by mm to see if it still sparks good?
Not quite, you fire the plug with Tech2 or similar.

Thanks CZ,

But it would still be out and grounded on the engine so you can see it, right?

Have you seen one? They don't have a threaded bit to screw into the head, just a croc clip to ground with.
I'll see if I can find mine let you have a look.
