Actually, on the plug, there is a small vent that allows expanded gasses to release.
look on your plug wire and you will see a little nipple. take a papwe clip and open
it up and insert it into the nipple. it is clogged and the residue needs to be
cleaned out. Once you do this it will be fine again. This happened to mine and I
used to drive the car with one plug out but the car ran fine and the catalytic
converter was still working. YOu can sinply change your plug wires. It sound like
you have the factory ones still.
try the paper clip thing and if it still happens the it must be gasses escaping from
around the spark plug
