02 Ranger 3.0l v6 auto
I know.. not a stang, but the ranger station boys are slow to reply and haven't had a clue what the prob is so far, and the 94 - 95 guys here are basically awsome!!!
Im on my fourth set of spark plug wires!
3 Autozone Duracrap
1 Ford Motorsport
First, my truck started to run rough and misfire. It quickly got worse. Opened the hood at night and saw all of the little blue arcs. The wires were old so i just replaced the spark plug wires. Two weeks later started to misfire again. I saw lightning jumping through the #5 plug boot to the header. View attachment 161068 This time I replaced all of the spark plugs and plug wires. The last ones started to do the same. It looked like the #5 was the main problem again.Well, I ordered some new Ford Motorsport spark plug wires off of amazon. They seemed like they were made of a lot denser material. Installed them and been driving on them for a little while. Thought the problem was solved until today. The spark is jumping through the #5 spark plug wire boot to the header again View attachment 161069I don't know how the path of least resistance could possibly be jumping through silicone and air to get to the header.
Yes, the spark plug gap is correct
Yes, the wire was connected to the plug correctly
Is there a possible reason/problem with the engine causing this to keep happening? Any ideas of what is going wrong?
Thank you
