To check if I'm getting a spark: I read that I should remove spark plugs #1 and 4 (passenger side) and look for a spark when turning the key, right?

Thank-you.

I should add: when the key is turned on but the engine, obviously, is not running, those lights remain illuminated even after all the other lights go off.

UPDATE: my wife revealed tonight that she ran the car for all of 10 seconds the night before it stopped starting. She has done this once before, and we brought it to a friend who said that the engine had been flooded, which he then cleared for us.

I tried to clear the possible flood tonight (still below freezing) by pressing the pedal to the floor. I heard a loud pop, but the car still won't start.
