I just Identified faulty wires by lightly spraying wires with water at night.
 I found a spark plug wire had a spark jumping from the wire to the fuel
injector wire, about 3/8 inch distance.  It also shorted to the metal shield
at the spark plug end.  New wires all around yielded a great improvement.
