Yes sir thats kinda what thought. This has never happened before cheap duralast spark plug wires. Barely 3 yrs old I guess its time for new plugs wires and cap & rotor I guess? thanks for the reply Brother.

I got hit once doing that. I never did figure out why but it sure woke me up. I suspect that the spark finds its way out a lot more than we think. I had a turbo Merkur before I bought my truck and the spark would jump to ground at higher rpms and just fall on its face. I def agree that Motocraft is the way to go. I went from duralast to even msd before switching to Motocraft and that fixed my issue.
