Re: Spark plug wire keeps popping out, why?
Thats odd, I am not sure the exact name, but you can buy this grease that goes around the spark plug so the spark wire gets a better connection and it is harder to pull off. Might want to try that.

Re: Spark plug wire keeps popping out, why?
be sure you got the right plugs and torqued it down correctly. i dont know why it wouldl be popping out tho. ive see it happne on a 240sx. hit 2 plugs out and dented his hood. before you just tighten them more or somethin you should find out why exactly they are popping out

the plug wire is popping off?
look inside the wire and tweak the connection so it holds the top of the plug tighter... or it is time for some new plugs

Re: Spark plug wire keeps popping out, why?
Make sure that the plug is the right size...example...I tried Bosch platinum 4's when I first got my car... from where the plug seat is to the top of the plug was shorter than the stock plug... your plug wire boot has the rubber cap on top that seals the plug hole... with the plug being shorter the plug boot would just pop off.
If that isn't the case then do what boosted spyder said... tweak it!!!! lol

Re: Spark plug wire keeps popping out, why?
The plug wire doesnt jump right out. It kinds pops out a little, minimal, such that its not completely disconnected, but out enough for the cyl. to misfire. Should i try some of the luve whatever it is?

Re: Spark plug wire keeps popping out, why?
Take some pliers and squeeze the inside connector a little to close up the gap...look in the end as you do it and do a little at a time until size is small enough....
If you get it to "pop" onto the plug and when you let go it undoes itself... your plug might be to short... just curious.. what plugs you got in there and wires? Stock?
