arcing spark plug boots

It's a 1990 3.1l v6.

Before I go buy a new set of wires & plugs & the correct socket...

What will cause arcing at the #4 spark plug boot? Am I right & the plug wires are just used up? Or, is it likely that the plug itself is buggered? Or, is there something else I should watch out for?

Last summer, My wife limped it into the shop with a plug that had blown itself apart & I was told they replaced all 6 plugs and put a used wire in to replace the one connected to the blown plug. I was under the impression it was the #2 plug but may be mistaken.

Any quick thoughts?
