I started my vehicle in the morning and I heard a loud noise in the engine. I left the car like that and called my mechanic. When he checked the car, he found out that the spark plug was loose, he just put back. A couple of months later, I heard the noise in the engine again, I knew what the poblem was so I put the plug back in. Some months later (12/04) I had the same problem, but this time the plug wouldn't tighten, so I called my mechanic again. He checked the car and found out that the thread in the spark plug hole had stripped. I bought a spark plug thread kit and he was able to fix the engine, but the engine didn't perform the same.
