Default Car starts 80% of the time

Ok so today I had to play ring around the garage spots with my wifes car and my car. I started my car and moved it to the side and then turned off the car. When I went to move my car into the garage, it didnt want to start. And then i popped the hood and when i would tell my wife to crank it, the spark plug wire to my far left when facing the engine pops out of its socket? What the hell is going on????

Remove the sparkplug from that hole and see if it is not sitting properly. Other than that the boot will pop off is that the connection that clicks is not strong enough to hold. You can check this by taking the plug and pushing it into the boot while you have the sparkplug out. If you are really careful you can pull the boot back on the wire and crimp the end where it snaps on the end of the plug.

u probably just need to make sure that the plug wire clicks onto the spark plug down in the hole.. its an easy mistake. just make sure u push the plug with down into the hole until in clicks onto the top of the plug. if it doesnt wanna click on then u have a bad plug wire and probably should be replaced rather than fixed. good luck. hope it helped
