This thing is killing me. Spark plug question

I knew it was too good to be true. 85 900 turbo. Has been running the best it ever has for a day. I changed the plugs Sunday to Bosch Platinums, new thermostat, rebuilt(?) the AIC and put it a bottle of techron at the half tank mark. It ran great until it got down below 1/4 tank. All of a sudden it starts bucking and jerking any time the spark advances. Take off the spark plug cover and have a big old spark coming through the number 2 plug boot randomly and any time I open the butterfly.
Question: platinums OK? they have insulator all the way to the tip. Plug wires and boots appeared to be in great shape butthey are obviously not. Also sounds like I'm getting some knocking as APC is kicking in.
Are there any heavy duty wires that anyone reccomends that can be purchased at an auto parts store or do I need to just go with oem replacements?
