Anyone tell me why I see arcing from the spark plug heat shield to the manifold bolt?

It?s only happing one the front left (looking into the engine compartment) plug.  I turned off the engine and pulled the wire and then reset it.  Looks to be fine but I?d thought I?d ask

Thanks
 
Wildfire is right, It is either a cracked boot or a tear on the outer layer of the spark plug wire or even a weakened spot from heat.


Either way bro, replace it.  :cool:
