If you're getting zapped like that, it sure sounds like a case of bad spark plug wires. Even if they weren't conducting electricity to where it ought not go, Bosch spark plug wires don't have adequate shielding to prevent the knock sensing circuitry in the EZK box from picking up stray EMF and interpreting it as knock.
Replace them as soon as you can with Bougicords, if you can find them, or magnacores.
And do the usual spark plugs (NGK only)/ cap and rotor (Bosch only), and make sure the timing is right, if you haven't already done it.
Do it as soon as you can because, if it's misfiring, the cat is getting unburned gas, which will cause all sorts of unpleasantries to your car.
