Help! Spark plugs keep backing out!
('94 DX 1.8 SOHC; 154,000 miles)
I've had the car for more than 4 years now and this is the first problem to bother me. The first time it happened I was on the interstate and I ended up driving on 3 cylinders. I put new plugs and wires in when it happened a few months ago and now the plugs are backing out again. I neither over or under tighten them. I've heard horror stories from other 4 cylinder engines blowing part of the head out when sparkplugs are over tightened. Is this a somewhat common issue with these cars? Any suggestions on trying to combat this issue? |
