Thousands of Ford truck owners have paid thousands of dollars to repair the damage caused by Ford V-8 engine spitting a spark plug from its aluminum cylinder head. “I was driving my 2001 Ford F-150 when all of the sudden I heard a loud pop then a loud continuous popping sound came from the engine,” March 21, 2007. “At first I was a little scared because I was in the middle of traffic boxed in between two semi trucks. I couldn't move to the right or left. "When I finally was able to move to the side of the road, I opened the hood and a spark plug melted to a piece of plastic and a spark plug coil with the spring sticking out sparking against another piece of plastic. What would have happened if I touched the energized spark coil or if it came in contact with metal and I touched the metal. Or even worse, what if the sparking coil came in contact with something flammable?”
