Default problem w/ spark plug?!?!

every so often..like every couple months i need to tighten down a spark plug again...when i opened the hood, the wire wasnt even popped down on the spark plug. its wierd, why would this be happening...also my car was smoking when i didnt notice it...would that cause it?

the wire inside has slid up a little. Push it into the plug a little farther and it should go away.

you might have to get that head re-machined...my friends gs-t did the same thing for a while til finally it just popped out all the time. I think they sell re-threading kits at pep boys etc for the spark plug socket
