Default Rough running, poor idle, spark

It just started acting up. The cel was blinking and it was running rough. I looked under the hood and it appears the second plug a spark is around it at idle. I am pretty sure this isn't good. Do I need change plus or wires or other?

I installed the one wire to move it and sure enough it is fine. How do I reset the cel?

The tourq is 20 ft/lbs and the gap is .040

Be careful on the drivers side with the water temp unit. I broke my connector and had to replace both.

This was not an easy fix but it work 5 hour project.

The CEL will go out if the problem gets fixed. You can disconnect the battery if you do not have access to a code reader.
