Spark plug/wire problem
so i was driving home today from school today and my check engine light came on and i started to hear a loud popping sound. i popped the hood and one of the spark plug wires was jumping up and down in the cylinder!!! i pushed it in a drove it home but it started happeneing almost home
i got home and it happened again, but this time i couldnt push it back in. i could turn it off and then push it in, but then as soon as i turn on my car it pops right out again! i looked into the cylinder with the car off and the spark plug looks fine. anyone ever had this? what the hell is going on? i took video and put it on youtube so you guys can see, here it is
its only 17 seconds long and at the end it gets the loudest when i try to push it back in

It looks/sounds like you blew a plug out. It may have pushed out the bottom threads and the plug is hanging on by the top threads. Be careful and don't start it until you pull the plug and take a look.
