Default Could be the wires

I was having a problem and tested the ohms on all the spark plug wires and they showed they were fine. After a lot of messing around with other stuff I carefully watched the engine in the dark and saw the spark arcing over to the manifold. Was a little intermittant so it took a while to find. Mine not only idled rough but ran strangely and mpg dropped about 4-5mpg. Good Luck!
