HELP! spark plug boot charred and burnt

My spark plug boot on the the third cyclinder is charred all the way around. I just put a new wire on it yesterday and its already been burnt through. does anyone know anything that it could be? this is the only boot that is burnt.
 


sometimes when the ceramic on the plugs crack this happens to the boot. Ususally it's not REAL bad though. Look at the plugs for any real small cracks in the ceramic. Otherwise my vote it for the heat sheilds
 
are the heat shields the plastic around the boot of the wire? do you think that it could be a cylinder problem that i should take it in. No other boot is doing that. there is a bit of a crack in the manifold that could let warm air heat it up, but its been there ever since i had the car and no problems.
 


the wires are specific to the gtp. i bought them online. the burnt one just sort of charred the plastic around the metal part of the boot. it look like it was burnt from the spark plug and not the manifold.
 




I was gonna suggest replacing the plug but you beat me to it... It does sound like your plug might be bad. PS if your phone has a camera you can upload the picture to photobucket too or send the pic by picture message to your email account then upload it to photobucket.
