Default Feels like a miss?

Alright I'll do my best to describe this. Just did spark plugs and wires because I don't know when they were done last. I didn't do a test drive the night I did them but the next day I jumped in and starting going and noticed a vibration and thought i heard something like a miss.

I checked out the engine bay and saw that some wires were arcing on the ignition coil so I replaced those and coil and the vibration has gotten a little better. I still hear the clicking sound that the arcing was making still but now it's from a different part of the engine.

Is it possible that one of the wires just isn't routed correctly and is messing up because it is to close to the engine?

Check all you wire connections. If you run it in the dark you should be able to see where it's arcing if it is.

I feel like an idiot but at least it was simple. Turns out the cylinder 5 plug wire worked itself off the plug. Everything is fixed now.
