I put brand new plug wires in my car about 2 years ago. They were just basic, stock type wires. The weather here has started to turn cold and rainy and my car has started to have a pretty bad miss untit I have driven the car for about 15 minutes. I thought it might be being caused by moisture in the wires but I parked it in the garage while it was warmed up and drove it again after it had a day to rest. I pulled one of the wires to check for spark and I got a shock. Sounds to me like I might need new wires. What do you all think? What wires should I gaet? The car is pretty much stock. I was thinking Jacobs. Aren't they the ones that have the vulcanized boots to keep out moisture? Lifetime warranty too right? Where can I find them? I did several searches but there wasn't much info on the Jacobs wires.
