DRIVING HOME TODAY WITHOUT WARNING I BLEW A SPARK PLUG COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE! WHAT CAUSES THIS AND IS IT A EASY FIX? TREADS SEEM TO BE FINE ON THE SPARK PLUG ITSELF BUT THE COIL WIRE WAS BENT JUST AT THE TIP WHERE IT CONNECTS

Hey Danny - a spark plug usually blows out because it was not properly tightened. These plugs have a metal gasket that must be slightly crushed to seal properly. Hopefully the cylinder head did not get damaged when it launched the plug, but they usually come through it OK. Get yourself some new plugs and maybe an ignition wire set if yours can't be salvaged.
