    was showing off motor at night and saw spark coming from all the plug wires at the plugs when i reved the motor. a friend said it was just static discharge and that it was normal. what do u all think?

    well idk, but normally that is called "arching" and its usually from moisture being in the boots. Thats why they make di-electric grease to put in the boots of the plugs so they dont do this. a set of PRJ wires was doing this, and it turned the terminal on the coil pack brown.

    idk, but check the insides of the boots. i have never seen my wires spark like that out of normality

    neither have i as i only noticed cause it was dark out and i saw a flickering light on my firewall and then saw it on all the plugs. i would have been alarmed if not for the fact that all the plugs were doing it. hard for all the wires to fail at one time
