The PRD's probably didn't cause the problem.

Think about it.

You had one set of wires melt. These are arching between them.

I think you have some electrical issues.

Hmmm...I'd be interested to know what issues could possibly exist?

Coil? Grounding?

I'll have the coils tested.

Would a grounding kit help with grounding issues enough?

just check and make sure your battery is grounded to both spots. One is bolted to the tranny and a smaller one is bolted next to the battery.

btw, where's the arching at? is it at the coil pack, it could be something as simple as an internal short in a coil pack. pack heats up super hot = melty wires.

Arching takes place between wires 3 and 4, in between the spark plug cover and the connectors
