...If once upon a time there has been a radiator leak, coolant Glycol has dried in all small cracks in the engine bay. On misty weather, moist from air is sucked into this Glycol particle like a sponge. On wirings, this micro size water droplet -family reunion will give electrons place to escape the shortest route to ground. Definitely its smtg else than your spark plug..

The Nissan installed wires may be like this; that is where conductor is better than resistor. Here the electrons have some difficulty to do their intended business...:
