Assume you are using volt-ohm meter so can test ignition wire. I once tested mine. The resistance has to be very low but can't remember how low. I'm sure you can find that number on the Internet. You could inspect the connecors on the ends of the ignition wire. I've done that. To pull the boot back I find it helps to spray with lubricant, say WD-40 (or maybe juxst soapy water). With the connector exposed you can expand it a bit for better contact. Hope that's your problem.
