hey guys, was checking under my hood tonight in my 2jz-ge jzz31 in dark and theres a constant greeny glow of electricity coming from the spark plug leads and when i touch the coil lead there is electricity glow on lead and can feel zapping me. it appears where the leads are touching other things like around the dizzy cap where leads touch each other and near spark plugs where some of the leads touch the spark plug cover.

Things i can think of as car is only jst new to me- car was degreased before i purchased so water affected some electrics so could be all my leads in general or dizzy or even ignition module or something.

other thing i could think of was maybe battery is dying or something??

mighty try and change leads to start off with and see how i go but any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated

its called corona

"old" tube tv's do this as the electrical components degrade over time.

change the spark plug leads for genuine or TRD version.

Dont touch coil on plug coils when the car is running, they can kill you.

Lucky you...
