I just bought an '89 745 turbo. At present, the car runs quite rough - the plug wire to the 3rd cylinder (right above the turbo's connection to the exhaust) will burn up after 5 minutes of driving. Bosch Plugs looks ok, wires are the cheap "carquest" brand.

By "burn up" I mean that the rubber socket at the spark plug end will get really hot, and then combust. I'm planing on buying a good set of plugs a nd wires from NAPA tomorrow, but this seems like a really wierd failure. Any thoughts?
