Default need info on wifes dodge

My wife has a 2000 dodge stratus. Yesterday it broke down on her. The spark plug came out somehow and was hanging there in the spark plug wire. She put the spark plug back in and tightened it up.

The car would not run right and sounded like it was missing. It would not go faster than 30 mph. Any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it.

Thanks

Spark plugs just dont "walk out" of the head especially to be left hanging by the plug wire. My first thought would be your head is shot. Best way to figure that out would be to look yourself. Pull on the plug she said came out...or all of em for that matter.

Sounds like the spark plug hole threads stripped out , You have a few options replace the head , get a helicoil installed, retap to a larger plug hole and replace with larger plug
