Default Spark plug pressure?

So im on the interstate coming home when i was bored and dropped it a gear (10 at night, not a car anywhere) and when i got into Vtec range my #3 spark plug wire popped its self up. so after pulling over to put it in, not thinking much of it, i got onto it again and boom, once again im running on 3 cylinders.
i checked my PCV and its fine, the seal on the bottom of the plugs fine, now im out of ideas
the motor is an H22a, but its in a del sol, and the prelude forum doesn't get the kind of traffic that's in here.

when you put the wire plug back in does it snap on and snug on the top of the spark plug?

your having an electrical surge that makes it pop off. kinda like getting electricuted and your whole body gets pushed back...(long story) try new plug wires, it could be the how the wire is wound in them, it could be crimped inside somewhere. this happens when juice builds up to power something but a wire is bad somewhere and when enough juice is available to jump the gap it does it usualy causing a pop or snap noise and breaks fuses...and your arm
