Strange blue light??........
When I was finishing up the Cab this evening, I had the car running and turned off my work light. I noticed intermitant blue lights from near the spark plugs. You can also see it inside the coil packs on front of the engine. So I go check my 90 and it does it too. Anybody else ever notice this?

But doesn't the spark start at the coil pack? Why is it sparking inside there?
It does look like it is grounding out before the cylinder on the Cab, but not on the 90. I think I will check the plugs tomorrow, and I will try my extra set of plug wires and see what happens.

because there is too much resistance for the spark to ground at the proper point; the spark plug.
