Description of the problem	I started my 2004 mercury mountaineer the other day, and the engine started making a horrible noise, like a lawn mower, right when it started. I shut it off immediately and eventually had to get a tow truck to bring me to the ford dealer. Luckily i wasn't driving this time when it happened. It turns out that the engine spat out a spark plug. This seems to be a chronic problem with ford motor company suv's and pick-ups. The temporary solution is to plug the socket because the threads wore out. However the spark plug was factory-installed and the issue is definitely a ford problem. The next time, it could be either lead to a terrible accident or thousands of dollars to repair, or both.
