    Thank you Uls...One time, its I think a little technical, a mechanic saw while testing, that tube being inserted into the sparkplugs has its electric exiting out of tube, he said there was a leak which supposed to be all its electric power just goes down the plugs. He wrapped them around with electric tape. I really do not know if it was correct or really if I have to replace the hi-tension cable that you call it?

    The insulation on the sparkplug wire (high tension wires) has a defect which lets stray electric current to discharge. Generally you will have to replace the wire.
