How old are the wires? the contacts could be worn and they just don't fit tightly anymore.

is your car turbo charged? msd makes a cap that has a plastic cover/guard that goes over the wires and screws in the middles to keep them from popping off?

You can usually slightly crimp the contact on the plug wire to make it slightly oval. Usually works like a charm. Be gentle.
