Engine And Engine Cooling
Driving down the road and hear a knocking in the engine. Open up hood and find that we have blown a spark plug. This has happened three times in my 2000 expedition. We have been stranded unless we find the spark plug or are able to get a new spark plug. Also the wiring has had to be replaced due to this issue. Unfortunately the last time it blew was in the middle of the california desert in 100 plus temperatures. *tr
