I was driving my 2002 Ford F-150 when the spark plug (3rd one on passenger side blew out of the head on the engine. The engine is a 4. 6 liter triton engine. It made a large bang then a thumping noise and loss of power to engine so I hurried and pulled over and shut the engine off. Tried to put spark plug back in. It stayed in for a few days and blew out again. It will not stay in. The cost of repairs could reach $2000. 00 easily. If someone was near the engine when it went off it might of killed them. Very dangerous situation. I looked up on the internet to find a way to fix the problem and found out hundreds if not thousands of people have had the same problem with these engines.
