So Thermo has been gracious enough to let me borrow his time-sert kit. I figured over the long weekend I'd check out the threads on cyl. 3. Turns out the spark plug never blew out. The coil blew off, coil #4 harness connector is burnt, vacuum hose is burnt, insulation off injector wiring harness on #4 is burnt, but spark plug #3 never officially left the cylinder head. The spark plug spins, is loose(can manipulate the plug up and down about 2-4mm with a magnet) but just won't come off. I figured I'd blow it out by driving it with the injector disconnected. Twenty miles of hard driving and still in there. Lol.

Looks like I didn't bring home enough tools over the long weekend for this job. I deserve it for assuming the spark plug fell off on the freeway.
