welp i posted last week about a slight hestitational feeling , not strong feeling car anymore well turns out, Cyclinder #5 was mis-firing and had the plugs out and they all look like crap and are somewhat rusted one of them is semi stuck in the head still cuz the jackass put a cut out insert in the hood scoop which after time caused those plugs to rust up a bit since the jackass didnt change them. Now all im praying for is i can get the one plug out of the head without having to pull the head and all the others come out fine, with new plugs and a way to figure out how to cover up those holes from the insert mesh or just somehow buy or create something to cover the cutout i should be back in business but f'n 100's of dollars to go through to make it happen. *cries* why cant ppl maintain their f'n ponys

Well, this is a long shot, so it may not work. Let some other folks come read behind me and make sure they don't see anything wrong with this BEFORE you try it.....

I'm not sure why I'm saying this, seems like I remember hearing it somewhere. Try taking a hair dryer and blowing down into the hole with the stuck plug. It'll dry out any water that may be left, and the heat may help make it a lil easier to remove.

But, if there's obvious rust down in there, I'd think about removing the head so as to clean it out if nothing more

Just hit it with a shot of penetrating lube and let it sit for an hour or so. If it's not crossthreaded, it'll come out. Just be gentle and make sure the heads are cold so you don't mangle the threads.

I wanted to suggest PB Blaster, but I didn't want to advise him to put anything in the spark plug tube that may hurt it. PB Blaster works wonders, and it doesn't take much at all

It just takes a squirt. It won't hurt it, just make sure you don't have a big puddle of it sitting in the hole when you take out the plug.

This may work. In marine applications, where there are iron/steel bolts and aluminum threads, and heat from friction, a mild bonding occurs. When this has happened to me in the past, i.e. steel bolts on a hydraulic wench, I was able to heat them up using a blow torch. But, um, I wouldn't reccommend putting a blow torch to your spark plugs. Just try getting the plugs out when your engine is at operating temps.
