After comparing the two in the store seems like the metal bout inside wire was folded in upon itself.

Just went back to advance and did that. Used dielectric greese. Am I disconnecting the battery to clear code? If so my obd2 scanner can do that.

No I haven't. Just know that after I press it back in its nice and snug and takes a bit of force to pull it out.

Denso wires and NGK Irridium plugs

I have a 2000 Legacy L wagon that I just did a plug and wire change a month or two ago. Over the last month the #1 plug wire keeps popping off the plug. I've put my weight into putting it back on and know that there is no way that it's shaking lose. I pulled the plug yesterday to check for damage and found no damage to the plug. I'm getting a knock sensor obd2 code before the plug pops of and then a misfire code when it does come off. Any thoughts?

The plug is snug. So I'm thinking that maybe the wire might be too loose. Idk

I've made sure that it is seated properly. Pushed the thing till it was all the way in with no possibility of it going any further. But I'll check and make sure that the plug is snug when I get home.

Also don't know if this is the same problem but for some reason the front passenger side plug wire keeps coming off the plug. Getting a knock sensor code when it comes off. Plug it back in, clear the code and it stays gone until it pops off again. I just changed all plugs and wires about a month ago.

Yes the heater blows hot like no other car I've ever owned. Also have had no fluid loss. Checked tonight before leaving work. Doesn't look like any damage to new rad cap.

Well it's still an issue. Was driving on highway doing 75 mph with ac on and it took longer for it to happen but the temp went up to just before red. slowed down to about 60 and temp dropped. No bubbling sound with the new tstat in

No it was definitely an OEM tstat.

Ok just finished putting on a new Thermostat (from dealership), and Radiator cap (from dealership). Also while I had the car up changed the oil. I'm about to go on a drive and will post the results.

Yes the radiator is full And it's in between the hot and cold lines in the reserve tank

Coolant level is full. Overflow tank is at the fill line mark.
