I'm definitely more dumb than brave.
I did not suspect it was a bad wire, though I probably should have. It was behaving like a like a wire that was seeing large current pulses, trying to straighten itself out.
But I did want to make sure it wasn't something else.
I did check the connection at the coil pack, and I made sure it seated well when I replaced the wire.
I'll change the plug and see if that helps. I'll check the fuel injectors by listening to them. I don't suppose it would wise to rule them out.
Thanks,
