Default blue spark under hood

There is constant ticking and a constant blue spark coming from the connection of the tip of the coil wire and the coil where it connects on the drivers side, does anyone know why and by the way i just put headers on the car and dont really know if this matters or not but just some info.

yeh its definitely a wire problem. I have had same problems with the wires degrading from the heat and start arcing. just a set of wires will fix that problem.

Wink spark

try this for free if u have not already its a free lt1 trick alot of times the coil arks on the motor so u take the coil off the lil bracket on the head and zip tie it to the plastic loom that goes around ur fuel lines and then there is no metal for the coil to ground out on and make sparks and in the end loose power on!!!!

It happens a lot when you burn a wire.
