Re: 92 escort gt,1.8,randomly dies

My 91 GT did the same thing at stops and just ran bad, I replaced the spark plug wires and it worked fine. 75K miles later same thing, I stopped at the traffic light, car died. Started, drove home, and found the same thing the wire insulation on the section going through the valve cover was craked and the spark was arcing to the valve cover. You can hear it if you listen.
