when the car is started, there is a clicking sound in the engine. I felt the spark plug and wire and could feel compression coming out of it. does this mean the spark plug is bad?

Hi there, if you can feel compression by-passing the spark plug, it will be loose. Best to fit a new plug and don't over tighten it. Do this first and re post if problem still exists.
