What is wrong with my 2002 Ford Explorer that starts sputtering after running 20 minutes?

My 2002 V6 XLT started to sputter after driving to the parts store (so it was after it warmed up). I could feel and hear the idle was off and when I would push down on the accelerator I could feel the sputter struggle of the engine. Also when I drove it home it would sputter while stopped at lights and accelerating. I ended up cleaning my MAF also looked at changing the coil, but I wanted to check my plug wires and found a leak in #3 plug wire where I had a P0303 code (#3 cylinder misfire). I changed my plug wires for $35 (Napa) and it runs great! I wanted to add a picture of where the leak is on the old #3 plug wire, it was about 7in from plug boot, it is the only abnormal color on the wire.
