Default Rusty spark plug wire.
Pulled the plugs to take a look and when I pulled the rear cylinder wire, a bunch of rust came out of the wire cap.

It was really rusty on the inside.

Would affect the way she runs? Did I say that right? I'm pooped after the detailing.........

In a word YES !!

Best thing you can do is get some new ones and put a little dielectric grease on them before installing.
