spark plug wire arc's with distributor
I drove my car to the magazine store after work. It ran fine. I start it up to go home and I here little tic noises. Kind of sounds like plastic somewhere sticking to itself then unsticking. I drive it home. Halfway home I notice that the idle is way sloppy. So I get it home pop the hood with the car running and see little tiny lighning bolts. Going from a spark plug wire to the rear bolt on the distributor. What the hell is this about. And how do I stop it. Change the plugs, change the wires? Is it covered by warranty? Help please.

Also, Check to make sure all connections are firmly connected. Its possible you have a loose wire too easiest path to ground after all.
