Hello everyone,
My buddy had this happen twice so I thought I'd throw it out there. While he was driving, the #3 coilpack popped out of his red-top like an ICBM launching out of a submarine on 2 different occaisions (!). The second time was last night. There was so much force that it broke through the cover (the piece that says"intercooler turbo") and the plastic on the coilpack was melted. We found a used coilpack for him (Tested and in good condition) and when we installed it we noticed the #3 spark plug (blitz/ngk iridium) had NO gap. The threads on the spark plug were flattened, too. That's all I remember for now.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Finally, any thoughts or ideas as to what could cause this to happen? Thanks!
