sparkplug problem
I have a 99 f150 4x4 5.4 and decided to change the plugs. I got # 1 and 2 done , when I got to cylinder 3 I couldnt get the socket onto the plug so I got a mirror and flashlight thinkin maybe this would let me see what going on. ANyway there seems to be a piece of medal jammed next to the plug right by where the socket would sit. Now I cant change plug 3 and the coil will not sit on the plug either. can someone help me out here b/c i'm getting very pissed.

do you have and air compressor..? stick a long copper tube inside it and blow it out... just make sure you dont have your face or any objects near where it might fly out and hurt you... i blow out my spark plug hole every time.. i change my plugs.. that way no dirt falls into the engine and winds up possibly scratching the pistion walls in the block

I don't know where you live but at Big Lots sometimes called Odd Lots there is a tool that you can use to pull spark plugs out. It is essentially a long thin flexible spring with a claw on one end and a push button to open and close the claw. I used this on to get a motorcycle spark plug out. it worked great and was only like 2.00. Hope this helps
