The multimeter tells the story: Plugs 1 and 2 are bad.

While plugs 3 through 5 check out at 1.1 ohms of resistance (I think I have that terminology correct!) No. 1 reads a 19.1 -- way too high --...

OK, after listening for longer, I *definitely* hear the click-off; it comes at about 21 seconds after ignition key on. ... Does that mean it's likely the timer box is functioning OK and the fault...

I can't recall that my dash light has never been on for longer than 10 or 12 seconds, and that seems like a generous estimate. Usually I turn the key on to glow the plugs while I'm buckling my seat...
