On the first part i would almost say that you have a bad igniter, but reading on sounds like you have an electrical short some where under your fuse box. Try and identify what wire is melting. start from there.

Mine was doing the exact same thing last week. Swapping in a 2nd gen Fuse box under the dash helped. Which led me to believe that my postive wire going from the battery to the fusebox was making a poor connnection.
Problem has completly dissapperated since the swap.
Also check your spark plug wires to, turn off the lights and see if you have a light show under the hood.
