Car was missing bad, turned out to be #1 spark plug failure.....

[mdr40z]

After replacing my turbo it ran great but after a few pulls I was getting a miss.
Turns out the dang spark plug ceramic had got loose, sliding about 3/8" within the housing, kept blowing the plug wire off.

Anybody ever heard of this? Do I have another problem?

I replaced them all and it runs fantastic again.

Yep, happened to me before. Shitty fucking E3 plugs. But, what plugs were you running?

 

[mdr40z]

Champion coppers

Champions suck, haven't used them for many, many years due to the same and similar problems.

I like Denso and NGK, personally.

 

[airhead04]

Denso or NGK here. Iam running Vpowers.

 

[mdr40z]

They have been great, they've even been in there about 3 years, 1 range cooler.
Autolite now

I've had good luck with Autolites and NGKs.
