On July 6, 2005, my of engine spark plug ejection in certain model year 2002 Expedition Triton V-8 the spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine. I heard a loud pop while driving or upon starting up the vehicle followed by a loud, repetitive clicking or popping sound. The popping sound was accompanied by some loss of vehicle power.
