Owner Narrative

2002 FORD E350 5.4L SPARK PLUG #7 BLOW OUT. THE AVERAGE CONSUMER WOULD THINK THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEFORE EVER KNOWING OR EXPECTING THAT COMPRESSED FUEL WAS BEING PUMPED INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FROM THE EXPOSED SPARK PLUG ORIFICE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE SPARKED PLUG COIL WIRE IS STILL ACTIVE, COMBINING A NON-CONTAINED FUEL / SPARK CONDITION, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. *TR
