loose sparl plug cause this?

[92greenlx]

I realized yesterday that my rear passenger side spark plug is loose. You can see it wiggling around with the car on and it moves if you touch the plug wire. I can now hera a slight exhaust leak. Would it be coming from my loose spark plug? Also before I found this, when I would get on the car it would sputter a little bit at upper rpm's. Would the loose spark plug have caused this?

yeah probably...did you tighten it back up?

 

[92greenlx]

Not yet, I will take care of it once I am home from work.

I tightened up my spark plug and no more upper rpm hesitation! My car feels stronger once again.

 

[ECU5.0]

why did it come loose? what plugs are you running?

you were a 7 cylinder ricer there for a min.

 

[92greenlx]

Yep! I sure was a ricer wasnt I? Ahahaha! I am running stock replacement motorcraft plugs. With my equal length headers it hard to tighten up the far rear plug on the passenger side. I can barely get a spark plug socket in there!

Yea 7 cylinders is never good, I found out the other day that my camaro had 3 loose plugs. I was trying to fiqure out why my friends stock 5.0 could hang with my car. But I took care of that, with the camaro you have to take the headers off to access the plugs. I love and hate the lt1

Oh man I feel for you! That would suck. So how do you like your LT1 so far? I havnt had no problems with going up against one so far. But I wont play with an LS1. I have thought about purchasing an LT1 Camaro for a daily driver for back and forth to work.

I have been using the camaro as my daily driver for about two years now, I got the car before I could even drive it. I was 15 at the time. This car has proven to be very reliable with the exeption of the opti-spark distributor. Mine hasen't gone out, but with these cars it is a thing that happens. The only thing I don't like about my car is the lack of work space and the fact that it is an auto. But to sum it all up the LT1 is a torque monster

 

[92greenlx]

If I bought one I would prefer it be an auto. Thanks for the heads up on the opti-spark.

I don't have to take the headers off to get to my plugs, but it's still a pain in the ass

The passenger side is what sucks!
