RE: engine wont start right away
take out the handy multimeter and check that the plugs are getting voltage. secondly your plugs are run in parallel this means that even if on goes out the others will still function. use the multimeter on the ohm setter and check each plug from the positive terminal nut to the negative terminal on the battery. you will need to remove the leads that go to each plug first. you are looking for a very low resistance something on the order of 1.5 ohms. if you have a very high resistance or an infinite resistance that plug is bad.
