Transporting blood to a mountain hospital, at westbound I-70 scenic overlook I am sleeping because I am falling asleep athe wheel.

Woman heading to Orange County, CA drives in wither 2003 Expedition sounding like a sparkplug is missing. IT IS MISSING! Blown out.

I told her she would have to tow it to a garage capable of boring it out and inserting a helicoil.

Could I have disconnected the fuel injector and she continued on 7 cylinders?

I suspecthathe sparkplug was over-torqued and the threads in the aluminum head weakened. She did not know if the spark plugs had been replaced.
