Why is my plug wire sparking through the boot?

I have changed the spark plugs, changed the plug wires 3 times, and changed the coil pack, nothing helped? Would putting some "High Heat" silicone on the heads around the boot suffice? How about the spark plugs with the 4 point end (Bosch Platinum +4)? I was thinking that the extra points to arc would diminish the possibility of them arcing through the boot (Less Resistance and Distance for the Arc).2. Blackcat Says: Electricity always takes the path of least resistance.The boot must have a tear in it.Use diaelectric grease when putting them on.Make sure you have the correct plugs with the correct gap.
