spark plug wires

Ive been having a problem with starting my car and idleing when its hot. most recently ive noticed It misses once in a while. Ive changed the coils, spark plugs, coolant temp sensor, intake air temp sensor, all fuel injectors, bypass air control valve, and starter. The only thing i havent checked is the spark plug wires. I just looked at them a few minutes ago though and noticed there is a white powder on them underneath the plastic tubes that cover each one. They are the original wires from 1987. is this a plausible thing that could possibly be my problem.
