Did you recently replace them or took them out? This usually only happens when they get cross-threaded... which is a pain the the arse... I just did routine maintence on my Dad's truck only to find out the #4 spark plug was crossed a long time ago. The plug blew out, and now I'm gonna probably resort to doing major maintence (literally taking the head off and re-doing everything) all because the #4 plug is in a very very bad place. Luckily our Celicas are much easier...

easier way it's called a helicoil
