So my car has been running great up until 2 days ago, I was driving to work and I noticed it was misfiring like crazy so I kept the RPM's low and cruised into a church about 3 miles up the road, I noticed the fuel line had cracked and was bleeding tons of pressure, so I fixed that and it still misfired, So I got home and parked it until today, I went to change the spark plugs, I assumed all the misfiring fouled the plugs with raw gas, so I went to pull the sparks and behold all my coilpacks are melted towards the bottom, and one was stuck, when I finally got the stuck one out(cylinder 2) It was the worst with a strong gas smell on the coilpack and it melted smooth around and the sparkplug has melted plastic around the top of it, (others were fine). My theory is the misfiring from the lack of fuel (for 2 miles) and gas got on the coilpacks and melted them..? But Id like to hear from you guys, these 2 problems appeared the same day, and the coilpacks were pulled this summer to replace one (dead) and they all looked fine. Any ideas or input would be appreciated, my car is currently under a car cover sitting

No way the fuel got up thru the sparkplugs. My bet is the coilpack grounds are shit. Install better ground source for all your coilpacks. I got mine tapped straight on to the head.
