An easy way is to crank it up and carefully pull off (and then replace) one plug wire at a time. Each time you pull one off you should notice an impact on how it's running. If you pull off a plug wire and don't notice any difference then that cylinder is not firing. If that's the case it could be the plug, the wire, the cap, etc. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11508-rough-idle/#findComment-79142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
