This is on a 98 accord coupe 4cyl. I noticed today that the first and second spark plug bouces up and down when my car is running. But the third and forth stays still and doesn't move.

My car has about 140,000 miles and I haven't changed the plugs or wires. I just did a radiator flush today. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

stripped threads in the hole?

 

Hmm. The actual spark plug wire moves up and down. Should I try and tighten down the spark plugs and see if that helps?

 

AHHH

gotca, didn't get too clear of a picture on the first post.

How badly?

Mine have a little bit of give in them but nothing too crazy.

If it's bouncing up and down dramatically it may just be easier to invest in some new plugs /wires

 

Well the first time, I actually saw the plugs moving up and down. Now after I push them down, I can only feel it.

 

Is there oil on your plugs or wires?

 

Umm...not really. But the spark plug wires that move and this alot of black soot on them that i could scrape off. The other two spark plug wires that don't move dont have much of that black stuff.

 

Take the plug wires off & check if the plugs are loose. Don't OVER-tighten them, but just make sure they're not loose. Torque to what, 13 lbf*ft??

 

yep, 13 lb-ft

 

Just get new plug wires and your good
