driving along the other day 5th gear no boost. engine light flashes engine is loud and obviously missing its ass off. pull over scan gauge shows a p0300 and my usual p0128 lol. get out oil on the front of the block by the alternator not a lot at all but theres some there. tow it to the shop and find cylinder number 3 plug blew out taking all the threads with it yay... o big kicker is the tip of the plug is gone as in the L part that jumps the spark. so i helicoil the plug hole. put plug in and bamm still missing its ass off. i put all plugs in coils and have spark on all so i check comp. 180 across the board so i check the injectors all spraying so i give up for the day. return to the car next morning and look at the coils cylinder 3 spring was smashed into the coil but when i put the plug in i was pushing it in just far enough for spark but when in block no spark. put new coils in and she purs like a kitten after a rough idle at first. been going for two days now knock on wood. i think the oil came from dipstick but idk its not leaking anymore so idk.. thats my story with 82k

 

ok great! now does an african or european swallow weigh more?

 

your lucky...just replaced my whole block because of this...at 67k

 

I did at 36ks

 

not sure what selfinflictions deal is but ok. any way yeah it was deff. scary but **** happens i guess. i assume the tip of the plug is in the cat

 

no problems sorry lol... i was just thinking it was funny cause blowing out the threads to a spark plug are directly related to someone not screwing in a spark plug properly.

expensive mistake

 

hmmm the tip of my plug, well the tips were jumping around in the cylinders which f'd everything up, the previous owner had the wrong plugs in they were like 1/2 " longer than the oems too no joke :x and self is right it is an expensive mistake ooh and btw self's comments are like riddles and sarcastic, you gotta take ur time to figure them out haha..its actually kinda fun...

 

oh **** what a *******. if the guy was too dumb to look them up on the internet, he could've just went inside autozone and said said, hey i need spark plugs

 

the plugs had been in there for over a year but im not saying im not at fault lol who knows what happened. but shes still running ok knock on wood but iv only driven it to and from work two times since im a little scared of it now
