tried searching and found nothing so here it goes. i recently made a few changes to my sr20 blacktop, while the car was down for a while i cleaned up the wiring harness (cut out loose plugs and rebundled) and repainted the valve cover (previous owner painted it blue) before all this the car had the wiring professionally done by hybridynamics. the car ran fine and was very reliable except it has always ideled a little high. now that everything is done the car starts up and runs but after a few minutes starts smoke started pouring from under the spark plug cover. i took the cover off and the coil pack of spark plug one started to melt. it was as though there was moisture in the gasket on the coil pack that seals it against the valve cover. i cleaned this up and it didn't do it for days but not it did it agian. i havent had time to remove the cover to see which coil pack it is coming from but its the same as last time. any ideas as to what causes this? the coil packs being exposed while i painted? something else i didnt think of? shuoldnt make a difference but i also installed a GReddy profec b boost controller and water temp gauge. any help is greatly appreciated. thank you
