I broke a plug sheer off in an 06 GMC envoy Vortec 4200 (COP on top). Has anyone tried this with other spark plugs?

Well, the short answer is "I don't know". It depends on where & how your plug broke & if your plugs have the same size threads as the ford triton engine.

This tool is designed to remove broken plugs from the ford 5.4 triton engine I would be afraid to use it on a different style plug you may end up with some of the plug in the engine

You wont even need this tool, it's designed for 04 and up Triton 3 valve engines with two-piece sparkplugs that are well known for separating while trying to remove them, you're plugs should have no issues coming out, I had a 02 f150 with the 4.6 Triton and never had any issues with removing sparkplugs

I Would go by the AC Delco website, they know better. These plugs were perfect in my 4.3L Vortec. I was very pleased, quality plugs with superior performance.

I haven't but it sounds like maybe the female connector(part that plugs into your power supply) may be too open(causing a poor contact with the male part(pin) in your power supply. You could try(WITH CORD NOT PLUGGED IN) sticking something like a ice pick and bending the round metal part that makes contact with your power supply to make a smaller tighter circle. Don't make it too small that you can't fit the pin from your power supply in the plug, just a little may work. That or if you haven't had it very long, call saying the one you got is defective. Things like this cord are very cheap and probably not tested as well as they should be, the sparking/arcing is caused by a intermittent poor connection. Probably not a fire risk but it could cause your power supply to fail prematurely.

My Ford van has a test plug just above the tranny pan. I removed the plug and installed the sending unit there.

I used it to avoid buying a new head for my lawnmower after I stripped the sparkplug threads. You do have to tap the hole to a larger size, to accommodate the Helicoil insert, which then allows the sparkplug to seat tightly. You can do this with the head in place, but there is of course risk of metal particles getting into the cylinder, as another user has noted.

I bought it for the electric spark and although different to the one I removed, it works, just make sure it is clicked in properly, may need a gentle tap :-)

Yes, to loose it, you might need a lot of force if you didn't apply anti-seize when you installed them. I did mine with ease. This Socket also come with magnet so it hold the spark plug when you take and put them back down. Remember when you install the spark plug back, just use this socket and your hand to manually and slowly alignment it in place and start tighten it with your hand too. then attach your wrench to this socket and tighten it with really little force. Hope this helps.

Kurt:Just check if the spark plug is the same for both those years, if so it should work. If your socket is a bit big, try a craftsman they have a thinner wall. Read every post on installation you can. I think this is about the only real option you have for a good repair.

Well you will break the plugs, what I find is this tool help to loosing the plugs, after you loosing them try to soak them overnight. Soaking works sometime. Trust me you will break some plugs, this is where you need the lisle spark plug extractor also. And please be very patient (do not use impact), I tried and this method almost cause me big money. Good luckps I changed my plugs at 181km, they were do this job was a three year put off, but I got it done thank god!!!.

First, check the fuel filter- that it's attached to the end of its plastic tube.Second, chuck the iffy "Torch" spark plug, and replace it with NGK BM7A (slightly colder also). They should handle it.Third, get a Poulan splined carb tool & adjust carb. Or, find a dealer who can do that (lotsa luck there.) Better, a friend.Once it's right, get a quality chain 62DL .050" ga. 3/8"LP. Oem chains are SOFT.

I don't know answer. Actually, you could take out one spark from your moter and see what is the model. This is also how I figured what kind of spark plug I need. Hope it won't take too long to take one SP out. :-) Maybe you could leave a feedback again to help others, if it works

I have the Honda GVC 160 model. The spark plug is on the front and the inpuy/output of the pump faces to the rear of the unit. Hope this helps

From what I have experienced the top wire connector underneath at the top are not very good I believe the bottom is for the pilot ignighter so it is not as critical, the top is the sensor which is very critical and wants to shut the unit down due to loss of voltage I haven't taken mine apart yet to fix them so for now I just push the wire on as i release the pilot button.

Spark plugs are appproximately gapped from the plug manufacturer. You should consult the user manual from the ENGINE MANUFACTURER for the correct gap.

If by screwed up the sparkplug hole you mean you damaged the thread yes this will work. The way it works is by cutting a larger threaded hole in the cylinder head and using the same sparkplug size with the included adapter bushing. Make sure you follow the instructions to the . I fixed my BMW sparkplug in about q minutes ...saved me about 700$ plus a lot of time... good luck!

Easiest way is to take the spark plug to a lawn mower shop. There are other brands that will substitute for the original.I have had problems getting a good plug. Connect the sparkplug wire to the plug, ground to the engine head, and pull thestart rope. If it does not fire, it is still a bad plug or a badignition module. Due to bad results, the first thing I do ischeck a new plug. There may be other sources for a sparkplug: Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears, and Walmart. ... Doug
