When I am at idle I can hear some type of noise that sounds like I'm arcing around my injectors / coils. when I Rev it up it seems to go away.... any ideas????
 
Could just be the injectors being noisy at idle. Spray the plug wires with a mist of water and see if you can see them arc. If it isn't misfiring I would say its nothing.
 
It might not be something actually arcing. With the car on, squeeze/ pinch the PCV line, and see if you can trigger the sound by doing that...

which pcv line?

I think I got know which pcv... is it the one thats on the valve cover with the hose that is connected to the intake?

Are you sure it's not lifter tick?
It sounds a little louder at idle and goes away as you rev too.!
Just a thought.:hmm:
 
Ok... I am sure it not lifter tick... I pinched off the pcv line and it stoped making the noise (thanks ILLiCliPSE ) anyways... how do I solve the problem ... do I replace the hose?
