ok i dont know how it happened but i changed my plugs for the first time since i bought the car bought a month or 2 ago and i found dirt packed down on top of the plugs when they were in the motor to where only the tip was sticking out. i cant get one of them out because the dirt is packed down so hard. i tried a vacuum and everything. does anybody have anyideas??

that is very strange...I cant imagine how that much dirt would get in a spark plug hole but if i were you id get my air compressor and put the air wand on the end and blow the **** out of those holes and use a screw driver to try to loosen it up and vaccum it out...

That's exactly what I did. It's amazing the amount of dirt that can get in there. Pearl02.

Definatly get all the dirt out before you pull that plug. Take your time on it. You can even use a can of compressed air from Radio Shack. You do not want anything to fall in there when you remove the plug!
