A simple way to test for spark is to remove a spark plug, keep the wire attached and ground the threaded end of the plug against the engine block. With the engine turning over, you can watch for a spark. There are also testers you can clamp over the individual wires that will flash as high-voltage current travels through the wires.

There are also a number of different methods of testing the ignition coils, etc. that others may be able to help with. I remember reading threads about this. You may want to do a serarch for similar topics.

You recommend anything to clean the fuel injectors?
I've just simply added fuel injector cleaner (fuel additive) to a full tank of fuel and run it through. I've never had issues (not that I know of anyway).
