I started a thread this morning regarding my car starting to clatter and running rough. This evening I put it up on jack stands and popped off the valve covers, everything looks fine. Started the engine and removed the plug wires until I found one which made no difference when I pulled it. I took out the plug and it appears the metal tab was pushed down on the electrode. What the heck is causing this? Is the piston smacking it? I gapped the plug and it runs fine. Any idea of the cause?
