Hi guys!

Driving home i noticed weird responses when accelerating and got home, left the engine running and checked the engine and noticed sparks from this (see pic).

And was of course causing misfiring. Now I work a desk job and studying graphic design at uni so i know quite little even about even my own engine so be nice please. i know how engines work but i couldnt get a broken engine to work if my life depended on it.
So what might my problem be? :( Please say leads and plugs.

Looks like the coil pack? Can you take a more zoomed out pic?

yes, coilpack.

you probably have a split boot on one of the plug-leads that's causing it to arc out to the manifold or a split in the bakelite housing

remove the plug leads and inspect it all,
make sure the boots are push all the way on firmly.
