A quick and simple test to see if your plug wires are bad is get a water spray bottle and mist the wires gently, no need to go over board. If you have a bad wire blowing fire, you'll find it quick.
If misting doesnt tell you anything, install a spark checker on both a know good cylinder wire and the bad one. Look at the difference. A good ignition system should blow big blue 20kv spark.
Just hook the end of the wire from the spark plug to the tester. That clamp on the tester, ground it to the engine.
