How do you get out a spark plug when it just keeps turning in the hole?

You would likely need to pry it up as you turn it. The problem will be getting a new spark plug in, since you likely damaged the head. Once the spark plug is removed, you would likely have to sleeve the hole to get a new plug to stay.


Why did your spark plug blow out of head on intrepid?

there are 3 possible causes that a sparkplug will blow out of its hole. Most likely the plug was over tightened stripping the threads. A loose plug can also hammer the threads out of the hole over time as well. Or the plug wasnt tightened and worked its way out but this is unlikely because the plug wire boot will usually prevent the plug turning.
