Inside the boot, check for corrosion, which appears as a white crusty powder. Push it back onto the spark plug ensuring it is tight enough. If it does not stay put crimp with pliers until it fits securely again removing if necessary from metal connector inside lug armor then replacing once again with secure fit. Get a clean rag and wipe along it from top to bottom to remove any dirt or grease from its entire length.
