spark plugs glow?
 
Lastnight i noticed when you give my car gas the spark plugs glow?

Is this normal ?

How do you know the spark plugs were glowing?

You can't even see them unless you take off the spark plug wire, and still you can only see half of it.

No, this is not normal, what colour are they glowing? Red?

When you rev the engine, and look at were the plugs meet the engine block you can see light coming from the plugs. I don"t really think it's seriousy, Just something i haven"t seen with any other car i've own. but you never know right.

Light as in a spark. If so then the plug is internally defected because the energy is going to the block instead of the plug.

Uhh... Need new wires?

Either yo have faulty plugs or you have there is carbon build up around the plug, allowing the spark to arc ot the block. Replace the plugs and wires and use a high temp dielectric grease to prevent arcing.

sounds like your wires are arcing.
