Consumer Description

VEHICLE RAN PERFECT DURING THE DAY. STOPPED FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR AROUND 9 PM, WENT TO RESTART THE ENGINE AROUND 10 PM, HEARD A LOUD "POP" FOLLOWED BY VERY LOUD FLAPPING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD AS THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT VERY ROUGH (SOUNDED LIKE "BLAP, BLAP, BLAP......"). ON INVESTIGATION, FOUND #6 SPARK PLUG HAD BEEN BLOWN COMPLETELY OUT LAYING ON THE TOP OF THE MANIFOLD AND THE COIL BROKEN OFF ITS MOUNT. THE SPARK PLUG WAS NOT BROKEN, BUT THE THREADS LOOKED A LITTLE ROUNDED, BUT OTHERWISE OK. TRIED TO REINSTALL THE PLUG, BUT IT NEVER WOULD SEAT AND WHEN PULLED OUT VERTICALLY IT FELT LIKE THE THREADS WERE STRIPPED IN THE HEAD. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP IN WICHITA. *TR
