you can take one iof the spark plugs out and put it on the valve cover or something metal and have a buddy crank it and you should be able to see spark from the plug. whats the status on the timing belt did you see the rocker arms move at all? did you remove the plastic cover on the side of the engine?

okay im assuming you mean a spark plug socket?

okay you need a ratched and an extension about 6-10 inches (im just saying idk what the measurements are at least long enough to reache the spark plug)

you will need a spark plug socket that is 5/8 size.

heres instrustions how to test for spark i cant explain it well ronj can haha
