Driving along, heard a loud pop and then had a misfire. Found a broken coil on plug second from back on passenger side. As you know this is a PIA to get to and you can't see in the hole so you can't see the plug. Bought a new coil pack but for the life of me couldn't get it on. Stuck my cell phone back in there and shot a picture down the hole...
So that's what I see in the picture. I can't move the plug by hand so it's not loose.
If anyone can provide any tips on what I should do? I would greatly appreciate it...
Try a long needle nose plier to remove the old plug . It must have been blown out of its threads in order to break the COP coil sitting on top of it . It is possibly wedged in , just try to pry it out .
Use one of the repair kits suggested by projectSH089 to repair the spark plug hole.
Go to (www.timesert.com) for more info.
You'll need an insert (Timesert, Lock n'Stitch, etc) installed to repair. Do NOT use a helicoil or the cheap Dorman kit.
What do I do about getting it out? It's wedged in there against the tube so I can't get a socket on it... Should I assume I can't do any more damage by prying it over enough to get socket on it?
Also, this cylinder has limited access and no visibility. Am I going to be able to get a TIME-SERT in there where it sits?
some individuals bought a "bore scope " to see the threads and possible debris in the cylinder . Check Harbor Freight for a low cost bore scope . Read the info at timesert website.
Good luck,
Had the same plug go on mine.....installing the insert is not bad......had to take mine to a shop to have it done since I was on vacation....charged me 285.00 to have it done.
Did all 10 of mine. All are access able Passenger side easy, driver side the back two are a little tough. There is a bracket on the firewall you can remove easily to get more room.
