When driving home from work today, one of the spark plugs shot out. The threads on it seem fine but the wire to it are shreaded. I left the car in a parking lot. What happened and does this sound serious?

Hi there,

You will need to have a tap run down the thread just to make sure it doesn't need to be helicoiled, if that is ok fit a new plug and replace the ignition lead, i would be checking the other plugs are tight as well.
