Consumer Description

SPARK PLUG HAD BLOWN OUT OF ITS PLACE IN THE ENGINE. AT FIRST, I HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND I HAD PROMPTLY TAKEN TO THE SHOP (ASE CERT.) BUT THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON ANY MORE. AFTER THE SERVICE MAN RAN THE TEST SOME TIME LATER, NOTHING APPEARED TO BE WRONG. A DAY OR SO LATER, I WAS HEARING A "CLICKING" SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, LATER, I HAD LOST A SPARK PLUG. WHICH BY THE WAY IS A HORRIBLE NOISE! I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH FORD VEHICLES. *TR
