Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 45 MPH, THE ENGINE BLEW OUT THE MIDDLE FRONT SPARK PLUG (I BELIEVE IT'S #5) AND COIL PACK DAMAGING THE RADIATOR AND STALLING THE VEHICLE. THE SPARK PLUG WAS ORIGINAL AND HAD NEVER BEEN TOUCHED. THE SPARK PLUG THREADS WERE STRIPPED REQUIRING AN INSERT TO REPAIR THE HEAD. THE COIL PACK WAS BROKEN AND THE TWISTED WIRES BLEW THE IGNITION COIL FUSE. THE EXPELLED COIL PACK AND/OR SPARK PLUG (I NEVER DID FIND THE SPARK PLUG) ALSO PUT A HOLE IN THE RADIATOR REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. *TR
