The second cylinder from the left has been having issues with the spark plug coming out of the hole, thus causing the engine miss. I have tried several times to thread the plug back into the hole to no avail. The engine has compression, as I tried and it spit out the plug. I have looked down the cylinder and have noticed that the threading looks smooth, and the plug does not grab the threads. I need to know if there is some type of locktite or antiseize compound to remedy this problem. I don't have the financial means available to put the car in the shop and would like to take care of this on my own.

they sell kits at auto part stores or maybe the dealership to repair it. only other thing is take it off and have a machine shop to fill it and tap it back to normal.
