Spark Plug Rethread

[Chayton]

Hey Folks. Reviving this thread again.

It's gotten a little colder here in Nashville this past week and have been getting misfire codes again. Car was sitting outside all day and started it at about 50 degrees and noticed the car had trouble idling and all kinds of ticking noises. Got a misfire code for cylinder 3 and a code for other misfires. This was the same cylinder/spark plug that was giving me issues from the beginning. Does the cold temps have anything to do with the aluminum heads shrinking and loosening up the spark plug? Sounds silly but i dont know anymore this issue doesn't seem to go away.

Thanks!

I had a feeling your fix was not going to last long. They lied to you and probably just forced the spark plug back in and called it good. You're going to need the timesert kit at the very least. I did it on my old police interceptor and it lasted for a while.
