Can a arching plug wire cause the plug to foul?
Probably a stupid question, but I had a burnt wire #5 that was arching against the block. I put an old one on just till my Elite OTVC wires come in, but halfway to work the morning I can tell another wire is arching(probably the same one). So Im just wondering if driving the car like that will cause the plug to go bad.

I don't know about causing the plug to foul but when my car had a plug wire not seated on the plug just right it had a bad miss and set a "check engine" light.
