red liquid in spark plug wire?

[ryan053]

I am having a hard time getting my car to run so i am changing the plugs right now.  I take of the wire from the #1 plug and a red liquid is inside of the wire.  Anyone know what it is.  So far its only been in that one.  it kind of looks like gease that would be on a pizza.  and man do i miss my satellite with a 318.  changing spark plugs on this thing is making my hand look like a contortionist.

It's probably dielctric silicone grease, helps seal out moisture.

ok, maybe it is, it just wasnt in any other wires and i had never seen anything like that.  hopefully the car will start with new plugs and cap/rotor.
