Has anybody had any trouble with the spark plug wire popping off of the spark plug on the 3.4L. Even when I push it down it will immediately pop back up. I used new wires. It only a problem when it pops completely out and then it becomes a 5 cylinder until i pop it back in.
Any thoughts on how to fix it
Thanks

Never had that problem.
What brand wires are you using? Sounds like they are too short.
I just installed NGK part number 4412 ($28 from rockauto.com) and they fit great.

the wires are from the toyota dealership, i also thought that new wires would fix the problem. I am not sure about the spark plugs, haven't changed those in a while

It's possible that the spark plug top may be missing/broken. Since the wires are new and you checked the inside of the new wire fer possible problems, then the only thing left would be the plug. Like to see piccies when you find out what the deal is... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

A possibility - some plugs have the screw on tip. Could be that is inside your wire fitting and causing a poor fit???
