when driving home today hurt some noise coming from under the hood. stopped the car and find the rubber thing hanging out and under the car I found my spark plug. does any one know why this happened. or was the plug just got loose and shot out?

Yep... that's a helicoil. Supposed to drill out the old hole and re-thread it to match the helicoil (which is threaded to match the spark plug), then fit it onto the head. Like I said, on our cars, it's in plain view so it's not so bad... especially since you're not doing it yourself ;]... but on some cars... the lack of room makes it nearly impossible. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
