Fairtax4me Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Make sure the spark plug is tight. If its loose compression can push the plug wire off. At the top of the boot there's a cone shape that seals the boot to the plug well. Put some silicone or di-electric grease on there to help the cone slip into the plug well so the boot can slide in further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Baslyn Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 The plug is snug. So I'm thinking that maybe the wire might be too loose. Idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Try some silicone on that top cone and see of that helps the boot slide in further. If not, try squeezing the end of the terminal with some pliers to make it grip better on the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason about a month ago as I was driving down the Highway doing about 75 mph up a mountain, I noticed that the Temp gauge started to climb and stop just before it got into the red zone. Turning the heater on brought the temp back down to normal. On the other side of the mountain I didn't have any problems with the temp gauge rising again. Until about a week ago.... Now when I'm running at any speeds past 65 the temp guage will climb. But the moment that I slow down to 65 or under then temp starts to go back to normal. Both fans do come on. And I have noticed that when I come to a stop sometimes that the car sounds/feels like it's bubbling but when I look into the overflow tank there are no bubbles coming out of the hose.
