Default Spark plug wires?

Alright, i'm cruisin around Sandusky when all of a sudden, my car starts missin big time. So I stop at my aunt's shop and pop the hood. For some friggin reason, the #4 cylinder's spark plug wire popped loose so I just reattached it. Next day was going to get on the on ramp onto RT.2 and it does it again. Same missin, same wire, why is this doing this?

The clip that clips onto the spark plug must be worn out or the boot is all stetched out. Sound like it's time to get new ones

Or its the spark plug hole gasket for the cover. I had the same problem with two sets of MSD spark plugs. Finally when I redid those gaskets, they stopped popping out.

Thats what I was gonna say, this can also be had due to oil leaking from the spark plug o-rings and making a very lubed up spark plug wire easy to pop out.

if theres no oil leak, just push the wire till the metal connector comes out and squeeze it a little.
