Default Spark plug wire fell out...

My car was driving like complete crap one day. I pulled over as soon as I could. I popped the hood and my number 1 spark plug wire was popped out. I put it in and I was rollin again.

So I'm wondering, could this do any internal damage to my engine? I didn't rev much of 4 grand while it was popped out.

Good point... maybe spark plug is not completely sealing and the compression is getting out... blowing the plug off.

Better look into that.

on my bro's honda accord . he brought it to a garage and they didnt even tighten the plugs all the way and the compression blew the plug and wire right out, and we had to replace the distributor because it didnt fire anymore. damn stupid garage.
