help! i think i broke it [ignition/rough running]

[walian at att.net]

FYI,

 I have to agree with the wire statement. I purchased some wires from Advance Auto for my Audi. I figured after 100k I should at least do a tune up on the car. After 1000mi the car sputtered and didn't run correct. Not having time to work on it I bought another audi and let the old 5k sit for 8mo never thinging that it could be the new wires. When I got around to selling the car and cleaning it at night I seen plasma discharge all around the wires. I replaced the wires and the car ran like new. Bad wires cost me a new car, and alot of hassel.
