the car starts fine for about 30 seconds then starts to pop back through the air filter ,some times quite vigorously and some time is a single pop ,it rev up and drives but seem low on power ,could it be a bent valve as is comes up miss fire number 4 cylinder ,ive changed the plug and the coil pack ,or could it be an air leak some were ,if the engine is over revved[when the kick down comes in ] my compression fitting don't fit the plug thread ,is it different from the normal plugs,sorry its long winded ,any ideas ,thanks ray.

Had a similar problem on the Triumph, you could hear fuel being spat back out and hitting the cover on one of the air filters. Head gasket had gone between cylinders 4 and 5 so was blowing back through open inlet valve.

You will need to do a compression test.A deep screw in adapter will be needed.The thread is normal for the small size spark plugs.
