Today after just having the body work finished on my 94 gt I ran into some problems on the way home from work this morning. Early this morning at about 6am, I pulled into work and heard a loud knocking noise coming from my engine. It was cold so I kindof forgot about it, when I started it back up again about 6 hours later the knocking noise was a little louder. I popped the hood and the first spark plug wire on my left had popped out of the engine block a little bit. I pulled the wire all the way out of the block and I looked down at the spark plug and it looked almost black, I could barely see it in the light, where as I could easily see the next spark plug. I pushed the wire plug back into the block on the spark plug but I couldn't push it all the way in. Then I started it back up, and it sounded fine for about 30 seconds, but then it vibrated the plug wire out of the hole. I was able to get it to the closest shop across the street(it was closed) while I was looking at it the engine shut off and refused to restart.
Anyone have any ideas? I checked the oil for any metal shavings, but the oil was just dark(no metal) Could I have thrown a rod? I'm pretty upset I just finished the car the was I wanted it and now I'm ****ed!!! -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

Have you looked at it in the day light yet? The spark plug could have been loose and worked it way up untill it popped, or close to it. This would cause they wire popping and the knocking noise. Have you had the plugs out or anything? I have to check these things on mine everytime something wrong, because there's no telling what I was screwing around with that week. I'm curious to know what's wrong here.
