random hot misfire So just when I think my car is finally running good I develop another issue 
The problem developed last week, when the car is hot after driving for 20 min it develops a misfire that only lasts a few minutes or after I go WOT it will misfire for a minute or two. But when I am just cruising or idling the car runs fine.
I checked the wires to make sure none are burnt, I swaped out the ICM with a spare I had with no luck, the fuel pressure is fine and there is no SES light in the dashboard.
What other things should I check? I have a MSD coil that I want to check but im not sure what the resistance value should be.

Alright so tonight i popped the hood when it was nice and dark outside, I noticed that #3 and #6 spark plugs are glowing right were the boot goes over the porcelain! I take it thats not normal and could probably be the cause of my misfiring. They are autolite 104 plugs with msd 8.5 wires. Plugs have less than 1k miles on them. Any suggestions?
