I can see the current tracing through the wires along their length and around the connectors, but there are no "cracking arcs" taking place. I seem to have a slight misfire "putt putt" at idle but, the car will still accelerate hard when driven giving no indication of a problem other than at idle. Can this "leakage" cause EMI interference with the ECM??
The wires are new Motorcraft OEM. The coil is new also! Oh, and the injectors are new also. Oh yeah...the plugs are new too. $$$$$$$$
Anybody notice this too??

I had the same problem with my 350 Chev engine's wires.
I also was told that it was "normal" unless there was severe arcing to ground.
I replaced the wires with higher quality ones and doing that reduced the light show but it was still visable.
Get the engine hooked up to a engine analysis machine to see how bad it realy is effecting your engine.
