in troubleshooting a slight idle miss, i popped the hood and took a look at things in the dark, and it seems I've got a bit of a light show going on! there is a spark I can see "inside" the coil that is happening quite a bit (probably once a second on average but it's random), and then i have a wire arcing too where it is laying up against a piece of random metal tube. i know that plug wires are best when they don't touch anything, but i already have them routed pretty well and i don't think it's possible to route them where they touch nothing??

this is almost brand new msd equipment (8.5mm wires and their coil) with about 5000 miles on it. kind of dissapointing.

anyone else had issues with the msd stuff?

 

i have full MSD ignition, wires, 6-AL, coil.

my 6-AL crapped the bed after a few weeks, but i sent it back and it has been fine since. they handled it well though.

my wires and coil work great though, i have had zero problems with them.

not sure what the problem could be, but if you get in touch with them, try to talk with the MSD tech named joe...he is THE MAN.
