weird ignition problem

sup guys got my car running last night.. and it ran fine till about 8:00 pm tonight.. it would rev up to about 5k and then hit like a rev limiter.. well i would quickly let off and get on it again and it would pull and kinda misfire at the same time... (seeming while it ran way awsome up to this point) so i run home get a flashlight and go out to the car... 1st check ignition... well pulling up the wires #3 cylinders plug wire could just pull up... no connection to the spark plug at all.. it was just setting on the plug pretty much... so i kinda crimp the inside of the wire to see if it would stay on and it did.. well test drive it and it still does it... but now at around 2.5k - 3k rpm has new 2step colder plugs.(NGK) and xenocron basemap..(ran so good before tonight).

so .... im off to get new sparkplug wires and see if it fixes it.. anyother suggestions of what it could be? sry for the story of a post haha

Re: weird ignition problem

well went and got new plug wires. and it still does it... gap on plugs is .030 and no codes on ecu ... the thing is in neutral it revs perfectly no hesitation.. but put it in gear and it hesitates at 2.5k then kinda get off and get back on it it climps and hits around 5k and does it again... then u have to kinda peddel it and it will sometimes go to the rev limiter... or stay at 5k ...
