Coil Packs Popping Out

[leepoll]

Can anyone please help me with this problem?  Galaxy 2.8 v6 2002, changed plugs and coil packs, but 2 of the coil packs keep popping.  It seems to be every 4/5 days, is there anything I can do to keep them in?  I keep pressing them right down.

Thanks in advance :)

Are they genuine or aftermarket coil packs? If they keep popping then they're either defective, the plugs themselves are wrong or there's gas from the cylinder escaping past the spark plug threads in sufficient amounts to blow the coils off!

Thanks for the reply. One of the coil packs is an original and the other is an after market one, I'll check the plugs are seated properly over the weekend. Thanks again :)

Might just be worth looking into the ends of the affected coils and checking where the metal contact for the spark plug is, make sure it's not distorted/opened up/been crushed preventing it from seating on the spark plug properly.

Ok cheers :)
