Is it time for new plug wires?

[ja78911sc]

I cleaned my motor off with water from a hose a few days ago on my 90 C2.

I started the car and noticed a plug wire arcing between the wire and the lower valve cover.

I have read that moisture can cause this. Do I need new wires or is this a normal condition due to the water?

Thanks,
Jim

That's the beauty of Beru ignition cables, they don't tolerate moisture very well and even new ones will do that. Another reason they put warning stickers on the engine not to get your hands too close to those cables with the engine running.


Cheers,
