Default Spark plug wire blowing off

I have noticed that my spark plug wire likes to blow off after getting on it pretty hard...It happened with stock wires, and now it is happening with the autozone cheapies...can anybody fill me in as to why this would happen?

Sounds like too much blowby, causing lots of crank case pressure which is leaking past the spark plug grommets and popping off the wires. Check the PCV valve, if it's stopped up it won't release the pressure. Otherwise, glue the wires down and rebuild the motor when you get the time.

No, I think you are in teh wrong area...the first time it occured was with a b18b, and it happened a few times, the second is witht he built, less than 2000 miles b18c. I have a catchcan setup on there, removing the pcv valve and the black box on the back...kinda eerks me though...any more ideas?
