No, you have to drop the fuel tank and if it is full it is very heavy and you need a floor jack or draning it first.

One type of spark tester is in the photo below. It is the one I use.
You ground it to a good ground (Block) and put a spark plug wire or the coil wire hooked to the tester, adjust the tester and crank the engine and watch for spark to jump the gap.
You can also stick a screw driver in the wire and hold the shaft near a ground and watch for spark.
If it is not starting some just spray carb cleaner in the intake to see if the engine will try to start but this does not apply in your case.
In your case I would put a fuel pressure test on the fuel rail and start the engine and see if the fuel pressure drops down to kill the engine.
Normal fuel pressures are 30-34psi at idle and around 40psi at WOT.
You can also check the fuel pressure with the engine not running by grounding pin #6 of the self-test plug. See diagram earlier in this thread.
You can rent a fuel pressure tester at most auto part stores and get all your money back when you take it back.
