Default is this normal?!

my fuel started leaking today and got me mad...i popped the hood and saw it was leaking from one of the injectors...i took the fail rail apart and noticed the rubber ring was fracked up..replaced that and boom done..no more leek...but what i'm happened next "shocked" me...lately my car has been ******* up at wot(sounds like pinging...sounds like lil firecrackers going off) i'm thinking im running a lil bit to lean at wot...i did a full tune up on the car..it went away for a while and came back...but today i went over to look for leaks and touced the plug wires...they made a clicking sound and the idle dropped...i touched it again and the same thing..i did it again and the ************ shocked me!! but it got me kinda happy;..i don't htink its normal for it to do that cause ive touched wires while they were on b4 and it didn't happen...maybe i need to wires and this is y my car pops at wot??

wow spelling was not your thing.

the plug wires probably have a bare spot so i would replace them. being exposed would cause spark to not reach the plugs and cause it not to run properly.
if that got you happy grab a 220 volt wire in your house. its like viagra

Yea just change the plug wires out. Also check the plugs to determine if you are running lean. You may also want to run a higher octane, or even adjust your timing.

but you didn't replace the plug wires?
get soem new,OEM plug wires.it may not be the cause of your problem,but it couldn't hurt considering they obviously need replacing.

white generally means you are running lean, you want your plugs to be a light brown
