Description of the problem | My 2001 ford f150 xlt crew cab ejected a spark plug on 03-03-06. The ejected spark plug came from the second cylinder from the firewall, on the passengers side. The engine in this truck is a 5. 4 triton. The fuel rail is in the flight path of the spark plug when it becomes a projectile. This has the potential to become a major disaster, if the fuel rail ruptures. Because with the engine running the coil on the spark plug can and will ignite the spraying fuel. The cylinder heads on these 5. 4 tritons engine must have a major defect and needs to be recalled by ford motor company, as soon as possible. *jb |
