mase10 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 The other night i was on my way home and went to take off from a stop sign and allthe sudden i heard a loud pop and then my car started missing real bad, come to find out somehow i had blown a spark plug out. I dont think the plugs have ever been replaced the cars got about 188000 miles on it so i was gunna replace all my plugs but they wont come out so i guess i'll just wait till the rest blow out Quote
Dannymik Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 :shock: 188K and they never been replaced...good lord! Quote
GP1138 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Yeah, actually that happened to me. Did your engine have a tick that got louder and louder as time progressed? I could hear it inside my car, then I was done delivering pizza for the night, started up my car to go home and BAM, spark plug hit the firewall. i was gunna replace all my plugs but they wont come out so i guess i'll just wait till the rest blow out I hope you mean that you replaced the plug that blew out, not that you're going to wait to replace it. I know mine sounded horrible when the plug blew, I've heard people driving like that. You turn your head immediately when you hear someone driving by with very loud "PUTT PUTT PUTT PUTT" coming from their engine compartment. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 lol.. same thing with my 87 6k's 2.5.. I was cruisin, then all of asudden. Smack! Hit my hood and ricoched down and to the ground.. then, PUT PUT PUT... lol.. kinda a funny sound.. Quote
GP1138 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 I was sitting outside Pizza Hut when mine happened. Drivers came outside and asked why I was under my hood, so I'd start the engine up real quick and watch them go :shock: Then I'd go Quote
Guest TurboSedan Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 did that strip the threads in the head? joshua Quote
GP1138 Posted January 25, 2004 Report Posted January 25, 2004 Well, considering I had to buy a Helicoil, I'm assuming it did, unless I managed to fuck them up myself somehow. The engine was hot when the plug blew, and I got it in just enough to get home with it, and when I got home, the plug blew again, and it was cold and it was night, so I let it sit till morning. When I rolled the engine forward and started trying to turn the plug back in, it would seem to go in, but would skip out. I fought with that damn thing for an hour before I went and got a tap. Even then, it was an hour before I had to go to work, so I said fuck it and just half-assedly tapped it. There are metal shavings in my engine, no doubt, and I have yet to change the oil. I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon, considering the amount of snow we've just today received. The 2.8 isn't gonna be there long. That's why I didn't care if there's metal shavings or not. As long as it runs and drives, I'm fine. Considering it's still running like a top, I don't know if I'm unhappy with the way things turned. It's not running badly at all. I can't wait to see my oil, though. Quote
