Hi,
Have you ever had experience of during driving syddently the engine power drop and found one of the spark plug (2nd) cable slip out.

Thought the cable was not fully pushed in, so pushed the cable back to position and check all other 3 cables were ok. After driving a few minutes at about 35 Mph same thing happen, the 2nd cable came out again!
Tried at lower speed for an hour it was ok and when ramp up the speed to 35~40Mph it happen again.

Please advise what could possible be the problem? Cable replaced about 8 months ago and the spark plug about 5 months.

with the cable on the plug does the plug stay on tight like the rest or is it loose? if its loose try another spark plug and if still you may have to take off the wire boot and make the clip in the end tighter or looser.
