Well with miles and 10 years lots of stuff happens.

If those are the original plug wires and the original pcv valve then it doesn't surprise me that stuff like that is happening.

I've seen plug wires burnt in half; not for some random, unknown reason though.

My PCV went bad at around 115k and would make the biggest cloud ever when I started it up but it's like the easiest and cheapest fix for the Neon fortunatly. Mine went bad during winter and the white smoke would cover like 4 houses in the morning, lol.
