Of course you can really light your eyes up doing this, be careful

An old-timers trick to see if the engine had dropped a cylinder was to
disconnect and reconnect each sparkplug wire in turn. If you pulled the
wire from a "good" cylinder. the engine would slow down. If the cylinder
was not contributing to a running engine, there would be no change in
engine speed or sound.  This method sort of works...
