rusty spark plug ends/wire cap
I changed my spark plugs yesterday and found the rear trailing plug had alot of corrosion on the end that connects to the spark plug wire. the wire cap was very rusty as well. when i took it out it was completley black, totaly different from all the other plugs. none of them had rust, nor did their wires. the end of the wire that connects to the coil was rust free on all four wires. i havent had any power loss, but maybe is always been like that so i just dont know. is there a way to test of that wire is gettig power to the plug? is so how do i know its enough? i will post pics

most people here replace plugs, wires and coils together. pics would help. maby that wire wasnt fully seated on the plug

that was my first thought, but it was on pretty well, i didbt notice it being particualtty easy to pull off, but i wasnt really looking for it. i noticed how rusty it was when i was about to take it out
