more spark plug help
Hi guys, I got a 97 f150 2wd 4.6
driving home the other day developed a miss on cylinder 4.
All other plugs and wires have been changed (took me almost an hour which I'm sure is a record for me) pulled the boot off and of course it was caked in orange powdery crust. Get the socket down in there and I can't get a seat on the spark plug.
I just got this truck last year and this is the first I know of any changes to the plugs or wires or anything.
Could the plug have a larger head unlike the rest? 5/8> are the only sockets that will fit in the tube.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike

Probably some of that crust your talking about.
You need a good air compressor to blow air down in the hole and see if you can blow that crap outta there.
Or try to reduce your vacuum cleaner down to a small hose and suck it out.
