I sprayed a bit of water on the coil pack around the cylinder one part and I got some sparks flying off around there. Is that the signs of a bad wire, bad coil pack or both? btw, thanks for all the help you've been giving so far

I've checked the wires and there seems too be no fraying however on the coil pack I've noticed that 2,3,4 have a nice brassy tip to them but the cylinder one part of the coil pack is kind of brown definetely not shiny like the other three. Could that be my problem?

I have a 1997 subaru legacy and the "check engine light" came on. The car started shaking back and forth so I got the code read and it was a cylinder one misfire. The problem I am having though is that the car seems to be firing on all four cylinders when it is warm/hot outside, but if it is raining or damp I get the same shaking problem. Anyone know why moisture might be causing my first cylinder to misfire?
