To do a power-balance test, you'll need a pair of spark plug cable pliers (...) The procedure goes like this: run the engine at curb-idle speed. With the special pliers, briefly remove each plug wire from the spark plug. Note the rpm drop, then reattach the wire. Hold the wire away from the plug for a second or two to see the rpm drop.
