06 GCV Plug wire
Hi everyone, last night while just having a lookover the engine with it running, it appeared that the middle spark plug that faces me when I open the hood was loose. Van running fine, no miss, no unusual sounds. This motor runs quite smoothly.
I wanted to remove the wire and make sure the plug was tight, gave the plug wire boot a slight CW twist and pulled. The plug wire boot was very tight and these plugs are near the end of their life. The boot hung very tightly and in the end, I pulled the silicone part away from the plug and the wire is still connected to the plug. You can see the metal part of the wire connected to the plug.
What do to from here? I'd rather not accidentally break the plug, has anyone been in this situation? It seems like I need to get a pair of pliers and try to break it loose, make sure the plug is tight and replace the wire. Any danger in running this way until I get a solution?
Any advice is appreciated.
Cheers,
