This makes me think it's not a chipped piston. If the plug was smashed, it would usually be a dead misfire, not just kinda odd at times. Cyl 3 is by far the most common to chip a piston, so that was just the first thing I thought of.

when i say odd at times

Like 0-30MPH kinda Bogs down and Rumbles, but after that its fine.

pulllllllllllllllllllllll the plug.

woman. If you can't get a spark plug...dont mod the car anymore

Have you never pulled spark plugs before? You just pull the wire off by the boot then unscrew the plug with a spark plug socket. If it's a high mileage engine and the plugs have never been out, the plug wires are going to be tough, just twist them a bit and they should come loose.

No i have never removed Spark plugs before.

So your saying pull the metal shell back and then unscrew the Rubber plug?

Alright got the Metal part off that connects the the Rubber cap that connects to the Spark plug wires



But the Spark plug it's self doesnt want to come out?

should i turn it to the left? lol it was Pretty Firmly in there.


Just dont wanna break it

Yes, turn it to the left (Counter-Clock-Wise).
