I thought I would check to see if there was any arcing from my wires so I went out after dark, started it up to check. There is arcing all along the drivebelt. At the alternator, the balancer, etc. Every where the belt goes over a pulley. Seems like a strange place for this to occur. Does anyone know whats up with this.
I don't know if its related but my car has started running rough lately. I think its got a good tune up and it was running fine until recently. I thought maybe I got some bad gas so I added some injector cleaner but it didn't help.

Probably just static electricity. Low humidity in the air makes the static worse

Check the plug wires around the optispark. Wire could be loose or rubbed on something and is opened. Also check your idler pulley for bearing wear which causes spark but not the arc. :thumbs:

Merrick-it does seem like static and I probably wouldn't be concerned except that its started running so rough.

Sumo-I checked the wires already/no help. I shouldn't have used the work spark since it is definitely an arc.

thanks guys
