pull the head off and have it helicoiled. about your only option. or get a different head. someone hacked that sparkplug in there at one time!!!

Thank I got it fix now but I still figuring on why it's flooding thou, I have the idle control block cause the engine will rev up to 3,000 rpm for some reason so I block out that idle control to keep it at 800 rpm when at idle I have change it out with a couple that I had and they do all work I can hear it when I plug it up

my dad's van and my friend's civic have both blown plugs. the ceramic center blew out of the threads. if this happens its and easy fix. if the threads blew out, you have to get the head off and have it helicoiled, or get a new head.
