I'm driving the Yuk and I notice that there is some hesitation when I take off. I pop the hood in the garage and I see there is a spark jumping from the plug wire to the exhaust manifold! do i need a new wire?

yes. and figure out what happened to the wire, did it melt and so on. if it just failed replace it, if it looks like something else happened, fix that too

Yeah, I would replace all the wires while you are in there, and the plugs. If that wire is bad, more are likely on their way. And the plug on that wire is going to be fouled out due to the misfiring.

+1 for replacing all the wires, and at least that plug, too.

your flux capacitor should be replaced too, but plutonium is expensive so you can use uranium this time.





ok...so plugs and wires time and cap/rotor change too, if possible.
