Well I was driving home last nite when all the sudden boom and a very violent knock but it would still run so i parked it and pushed it home.....got outside this morning cranked it and the #3 spark plug was jumping everywhere and i looked at it and it was smashed......i really dont know whats up and i need help bad cause i have no transportation right now...thanks if you can help
 
I'm not quite sure what you mean your spark plug was jumping everywhere... Was there a tip on it when you remove the plug? If not, you could have snapped a rod :thumbdown

well there was still a tip on the plug but it had been smashed back against the electrode.....and while the motor was running the plug and plug wire were jumping around like the piston was hitting the plug :confused:
 
You jumped timing, snapped a valve head, and yes, now it's trying to hammer its way either down through the piston crown or up into the water passages in the head.

For god's sake, stop cranking it.

Next stop: rebuild.
 
this sucks...i wish i wasnt still paying on this freakin thing....cuz i want a turbo car soo bad...and i really dont want to rebuild it but i guess im stuck with it....how much is it gonna be to rebuild you think...
