sparkplug wires

is there a way to TEST sparkplug wires and sparkplugs with an ohm meter or something, just to be sure they are running 100% efficient? thanks
 
As far as a simple test, you can test the wires and look for any which have a higher impedance from the others. I think the nominal range is in KOhms or thereabouts. I am curious as to the reason why a new plug misfires at all. If its supposed to fire 1,000,000 straight times, and it makes it 999,999 times.. I'd like to know why it didn't fire that one time!

Also, I have a set of aftermarket wires with about 70,000 miles on them and am wondering if I should take them in under warranty and trade them out. How can I prove that they're worn out?
