Consumer Description

2002 FORD F-250 PICKUP WITH A 5.4 LITRE ENGINE. SPARK PLUGS KEEP BLOWING OUT OF THE ENGINE. THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLS ME THEY SEE THIS OFTEN AND THEN PRESENT ME WITH A $400.00 BILL EACH TIME A SPARK PLUG BLOWS LOOSE. I'VE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THIS CAN ALSO RESULT IN AN ENGINE FIRE BECAUSE THE COMPRESSED GAS AND AIR MIXTURE ARE BEING BLOWN THROUGH THE SPARK PLUG HOLE, WHILE THE LOOSE PLUG CONTINUES TO FIRE NEARBY. *TR
