My 2002 ford e-350 has been found to have a spark plug blow out. This hapened without notice. I have been told that I need a tune-up. I have researched online and found many complaints about ford truck engines ejecting spark plugs. I'm concerned that if all the plugs are replaced, that the problem may not fuller be solved without some very expensive work.

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.

I have a 2002 e350 ford ext sd van that came with oem goodyear wrangler ht lre 245/75r/16 tires. The veh was obtained new in june 2002. Since new the tires sidewalls were cracked and dry, after driving on them a while the sidewalls had minor bulges, and more cracks. The tires were rotated/bal/and proper psi at all times and were never overloaded. The tires were replaced with michelin ltx/ms at 33k miles. These tires should have been replaced under a "safety improvement campaign" by goodyear at their expense (the federal safety agency campaign id nr 02x001000 dtd 28 jan 2002). I was not notified and the "campaign" expired, leaving me to replace the tires at my expense. By not notifing me goodyear saved a bundle but it left me in danger of a possible blowout/tread seperation or even a crash. When I did find out about the replacement campaign I went to my local goodyear dealer and all they offered was to sell me the same tire at an inflated price compared to sam's club or wal-mart. Needless to say I will not be shopping for goodyear tires in the future.
