Why did my car spark when I touched the spark plug?
Why were you shocked? The spark-plug wire you touched contained an insulation fault — perhaps a small split or crack in the rubber coating. The wire might have been routed such that enough distance (air) prevented a spark from leaking to ground, causing an engine misfire.

Why are spark plug wires can zap you?
Why car’s spark-plug wires can zap you. Depending on the ignition-system type, typical voltage at steady speed will range between 5,000 to 10,000 volts and jump to perhaps 15,000 during acceleration. Higher voltage is usually the result of a faulty spark-plug wire.
