So borrowed my nephew's '04 Hyundai Sonota with the 2.4 (he is now deployed @ McConnell AFB with another vehicle) since my daughters car is having A/C work done.
Sister said it had a check engine light that came on last time she drove it, but does not know what it was. Has not been driven in over a month.
I started driving, and it had an occasional misfire. Started getting worse the more I drove it. Got on the freeway, and misfires disappeared.
Got home and had a code P0301 (misfire on cylinder 1). Pull the engine cover, remove the plug wire and pulled the plug to find this:
I have heard of this, but never seen the porcelain sperate like this.
Nice easy fix though, a $4 copper Champ plug to get it going again is all it took.
