plug wires arcing near the coil pack is this still signs of worn wires

[redgst95]

last night i was fixing to do a interstate pull with a 04 cobra and a 05 gt, when we got on it as soon as i went under boost the worst busting up ,studdering,bogging started happening at the time i really didnt know what the problem is and im still a little iffy so i pull over and not only under throttle did it mis and sputter but it did it at idle to! when i popped the hood you could see the #4 and #1 wire arcing but from all the other post i read all of their arcing problems came from the boot down by the plug my question is this still going to be caused by worn plug wires or could it be something else like a coilpack maybe?? hope you guys can help!

Most likely worn wires, possibly condensation forming under the boot. To what are they arcing?

Unfortunately, that one I can't help with. The only Haynes manual I have is for a 1G. :b

That's weird that it's arcing betwee two coil posts though.. don't they usually only carry +, and ground the plugs to the engine body? Haven't looked at a spark wire cut apart, but given that they usually arc to the head just short of the plugs themselves, seems reasonable enough.
