So I was about to head home from work today to grab my chef coat I forgot, and I started my car and BOOM, pop pop pop pop pop pop. Naturally I'm thinkin wtf was that? So I pop the hood while it was running, and see my f'n coil just chillin on the valve cover, boot was gone. I figure great some how my damn coil snapped. I called my dude who has an 01 and ask if he can bring me up a coil from his car and a socket and ratchet so I can get home later? He says sure and brings it all up to me.
Fast forward a few hours, it's about 9:30 and I think it's a good time to go change the coil so I can mop the floors and go home. Well what happens? O I drop the f'n socket down in the spark plug chamber and hear a strange clinky clank that I know isn't good. I grab my flashlight and look down and say to myself "where the fukk is my spark plug?" I start looking around and see it sitting on the ground underneath the car..... It all started making sense. The coil didn't just mistakenly break itself, the damned plug shot out of the head!
I call my buddy Brian (dude who brought me his coil) and he comes to pick me up in a brand new 2013 Honda Accord (he works at Honda, and yet still drives a Mustang and has a fukk Honda sticker under the hood of his Mustang lmao) and has a magnet and flash light with him. Some how with that little magnet of his and many many attempts he snags the socket and pulls it out! Thank God because that's the one thing that worried me most. He then looked at the plug, all the threads looks fine. Then looks at the threads on the head, he counts 4 good threads. There's 4 threads being used on the spark plug..
My old man tells me that I would have heard a popping sound coming from the spark plug due to it backing out. I showed him the video I took a few months back that I posted on here thinking it was an exhaust leak, and he says "yeah that's the sound it would make, you may have gotten lucky." So what do you guys think? Anyone had this happen to them? I'm really hoping that the previous owner who did the plugs just didn't torque them properly and that it just backed out. I'm gonna go back to work tomorrow (on my day off haha) to hopefully get the plug back in and bring it home later. Any precautions I should take when I go out there?
Also there was a little water that fell in from it raining all day and me opening the hood. How would I go about getting that out of the combustion chamber? Or should I let it dry? Sorry for the long thread lol it's just been one of those days
