Default Help testing spark plug wire

My 2010 96" SG is running on the rear cylinder only. When I wiggle the front spark plug wire at the ignition box the front cylinder will try to run. I believe that plug wire has gone bad. Anyone now what resistance values to check with an ohm meter?

I have cleaned and check the spark plugs also.

Thank you for your help

Low tech way to check would be to swap the front / rear cylinder spark plugs and see if it makes any difference.

I'd just go buy a couple new plugs if that's not the problem then you have a couple of spares.
