That is a stupid way to check for spark and you'll prob get a nice shock!
Just put the spark plug in the lead and earth it on top of the valve cover.

Remove the banjo fitting from the fuel rail and check if your getting fuel.

easier method to check spark without removing the plugs is to stick a screwdriver to the end of the plug wire and hold it CLOSE to the valve cover or mani and check for tiny sparks while cranking. if you happen to touch the valve cover or the place where you hold the screwdriver with ur other hand then you will get a shock when theres a spark :p

or else like adamB said check for fuel if its not the cause.
