a mechanic friend of mine mentioned he thought he heard arcing in my engine bay... didn't have time to really sit down and talk to him about it. what causes arcing? bad wires/plugs? dist cap/rotor need replacing? how do i fix it?


thanks

usually bad wires will cause arcing, look in the engine bay at night if the wires are arcing you should be able to see it

 

could be loose plug wire or loose plug or burnt plug wire.

 

i didn't see anything when we were looking at it the other night. i'll check the plugs for tightness.

thanks
