I few weeks ago i posted that my 914 sounded like a harley...with little power. i have now discovered why. I found the spark plug still coonected to the plug wire floating around beneth the fuel injection system?...I tried to reinstall it but nope!...no bite in the threads. Is there a cheap easy fix...or dare I say it...a larger diameter plug I could make work until i can re-do it?

I blew 2 plugs once on my VW when a heater hose blew off. I overheated the head and both plugs shot out. I did the Time-Sert. Worked great. I would look at why it blew. Cracked head or cooling issue?
