so my story starts here, i drive a 2000 gt, and when i went to start it recently, the engine turned over and *POW* i heard an extremely loud pop. turns out that the pop was a spark plug exploding out of the head. whoever owned the car before me apparently cross threaded the plug and when it BLEW out it ripped all the remaining threads out with it. well in an attempt to fix it my dad tapped and reamed the whole and placed in an insert. we got a new spark plug and everything, but the cylinder continues to misfire.
in addition my cats are bad and the coating inside im guessing is pinging all around, i was wondering if the cats being in such bad condition could cause the engine to misfire after fixing the plug....
PLEASE!! any response or ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

also, cylinder 1 is where the the explosion that ruined my motoring life occured
