Spark Plug Boots

My C.e.l. Started Flashing And The Truck Was Running Rough. I Popped The Hood To Look And Heard Spark On Something. Looking I Found #2 Boot Out And Arc To The Upper Intake. So I Plug It Back In, Light Went Off, Everthing Was Good. On The Way To Work This Morning, The Same Thing Happened And Popped The Hood When I Arrived And Same Thing Happened.
Just Looking For Any Clues Or Hints. Plug Were Changed 45,000 Miles Ago So They Shouldn't Be Loose.

Sounds like your in need of a new set of Motorcraft wires. I would check the plug tightness just to be safe.

Not sure if this would be a temp fix or permanent, but I heard that you con take a pair of plier and squeeze the boot making the metal part inside the boot a litle tighter, then maybe it won't jump off spark plug
