 Description of the problemI have a 2001 ford f-150 with 195,000 miles on it ,.. I am the third owner and have not had any problems with it until now.. I was driving down the road and suddenly heard a loud disturbing sound coming from the engine compartment,.. I pulled over and shut the truck off immediately,.. I opened the hood and did not see anything wrong, so i started it back up and the same noise could be heard,.. I looked under the hood and could see a spark by where a spark plug would be,.. I shut the truck off and investigated a little bit,.. I noticed that the coil was off and the spark plug was laying by the valve cover,... I had to call my brother to haul the truck home since i knew that driving it like that could cause engine problems,.. After doing a little research about this problem, i found that spark plugs popping out of their holes is kind of a common thing for ford triton engines. Why has this issue not been addressed by ford motor company yet,... I have been told that they have known about tit for quit some time and haven't been forced to fix the problem so they probably wont send out a recall for this... What can b e done to fix this problem !!!
