So I did a minor tune up on my 91 YJ this morning. Essentially I replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor along with an oil change. Anyhow, it is the first time I've personally done a plug/wire/dist/rotor change myself and I'm pretty happy with the ease at which I completed it.
So my question, just out of curiosity, is how do I know exactly whether I'm firing on all cylinders after replacing the plugs/wire? I'm assuming I may notice a difference in the engine sound and almost certainly in the power. But if it was only one cylinder not firing would it be dramatic?
The reason I ask this is that when attaching the new wire set to the plugs I had some difficulty making the connection, until i realized I could slide the rubber boot down so there was not as much boot to go over the plug, which at first was making the wire/plug connection come off.
Thanks for the info!
