take out the plug(s) in question and get a pair of "wimpy" pliers (or anything that'll permit your holding the sparkplugs and wire boot without recieving a shock) and hold it's threads against the engine block and crank the car over...then look for spark

yes and no...

its easier with two people
but all you have to do is ground the spark plug and be able to see if its sparking....therefore you could - I dunno - tape it or something to the UIM so its visible from inside the car....
