Have a 95 gt and was looking if over today and heard a ticking I found out what it was it looked like a plug was loose in head. I took off boot and the plug wiggles around in head but does not seem to be lose. I tried to turn it and couldn't. I will be able to look at it more after engine cools down. What could be the problem. I was think the plug is broke. I am a rookie when it cones to mustang 5.0. My DD is a f-150. V6. Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Seriously no advice or help. No one else has had this problem really.

 

Ok, first off, I'm guessin' it's a broken plug, in that the ceramic up top has broken off the screw part of the plug. The ticking you hear is likely a spark escaping the plug's ceramic insulation. You need to actually pull the plug out to determine what's going on, but replacement seems imminent and decisive on this. Cheap enough solution, just be sure not to screw up the install.

Now, as to the 5 hour (and now 7 hour) delay... it's the weekend, some (if not all) folks are probably, like me, been doing other things, and haven't come to this site to check in yet. Usually, this forum isn't for immediate assistance, even if we're pretty active. If you need immediate response, you probably need a shop, and not us.

Still, thanks for trustin' us in the first place, and hope that helps ya out!

 

Thank ya for the help. It is broken off. How it did that happen. I have no clue. Bought the car a yr ago and hardly drive it. I maybe put 500 miles on it since I bough it. It was running good I looked it over no tickin then. I guess it was just an old plug and the vibration of driving the other night cracked it. Also srry to all for the seriosly comment I was having a bad day. Everything I looked at or touched seemed to break down. On top of mustang breaking down I locked keys in truck and no spare lol. Anyway thanks again for the help.

 

No problem. Kinda glad I got it right, but not that you got the issue. Still, again, pretty easy fix, just get a plug, gap it, and stick it in with some anti-seize.

'course, at this point, perhaps all 8 are needing replacement... I would. And wires, oil cap, rotor, and perhaps, just perhaps, the ignition module... although it being a '95, I'm not terribly sure if it's got one on the distributor or somewhere else... But definitely plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

 

I bet the plug has been cracked since it was installed, they usally don't break them selves like that. Welcome to TMS post a pic or two of your ride.

 

This I the firs day I got it. Takin pics morrow. This only one I got on this phone lol. I fixed the prob thanks for all the help I went ahead and replaced plugs and wires an air filter runnin like a champ. I know this is off the topic if plugs but does anyone know if u had to order a mustang with the gold horse and pinstripe special or a package deal thing. It's a gt convertible. Has cobra rims. It's deep forest green. I wish it was a stick but it's not. ? other than that car runs great. O and one more question. The odometer and trip meter don't work what is the prob there and is it an easy fix. Srry for all the q&a. It is just conin to me lol I'll post more pics mores again thanks for help with the plugs. Andy advice on other question is greatly helpful.
