HELP coil on plug!!!!!

kkent · June 25th, 2010, 12:38 AM

ok guys so i got a quick question. i was pulling into my drive way when all of a sudden a loud popping noise started from the engine bay. when i popped the hood i saw that the coil for the second cylinder on the left was moving and poping with air. has anyone had this happen before? is it just an o-ring that went out or did the spark plug strip? also it looks like the injector rail is covering the coil on do i have to remove it to pull the plug? and lastly if it did strip am i fucked or can i fix it? thanks for the help.

p.s. its got 56,xxx miles as far as i know the ignition system is completly stock and I havnt done th 60k service to change any plugs or anything.

aHHHHH DUDE THAT SUCKS!! you blew the spark plug out of the head...

UnixHH · June 25th, 2010, 12:44 AM

you need a new head or need to put a helicoil / timesert in.

UnixHH · June 25th, 2010, 12:45 AM

and no you dont have to remove the rail. just the 8mm bolt holding the coil on and the wireing harness plug on the coil and it will bend out of the way of the raill just pull up on it and you will probably have your spark plug stuck to it with a piece of the head still on the threads of the plug

Shitty!!! Ok well do you know how much it might be to do the helicoil done by a shop?

UnixHH · June 25th, 2010, 01:18 AM

not a clue.. thankfully i havent had to go down that road yet.. but im sure someone will chime in on it.. did you pull the plug to verify thats what happend? if so id make a new thread staying "need heilicoil or timesert in head" and you should get some replys

do a timesert best fix. running an oversized plug works with cast heads but has issues with aluminum.

dude id go check to make sure the plug didnt just spin out before you go tell a shop the wrong problem. it takes 2 minutes to pull off a coil

They aren't hard to fix. Just get the timesert kit and follow the directions. I did mine in my dorm parking lot. Welcome to the world of Windsor. And ya it took the threads out of the head.
