Default Sparkplug wire will not stay in number number 3 cylinder...

Ive noticed that once in a while when I pop my hood my number 3 sparkplug wire will be sticking out. Like its partly in but for sure not around the plug correctly. What can cause this?

Did you push the wire all the way down, until you heard or felt a snap?

Maybe thats why. I did last night... But I just recently changed my plugs. So maybe the first time I replaced them I didnt snap them on all the way.

Could there be any worse circumstances?

Nothing really, comes to mind. I can understand why that would be happening to you, as long as you put them on all the way. Just make sure that you push down on them pretty hard.

Did your wires come with a small amount of clear lubricant?

You could grind down the bottom of the plug boots also.
