im guessing your ruber thing on the top isnt on right so its causeing it to pop off, if i was you i would squeze the bottom of the spark plug wire a little then put it on and make sure the rubber thing on top is on right

The same thing happens to my D15B2. Pulled the spark plug wire off and found oil in it. The rest of the spark plugs are fine, just the one.

a lot of aftermarket spark plug wires do not fit as well as the oem/ngk wires.

The whole setup itself is the stock parts, its just the wire itself that aftermarket. Plus it was doing this before the wire change. I blame it on Quikstop. It all happened after I got the oil changed, which really didn't look like it was changed at all. One friend said it might be the ring is cracked, another said its a busted rubber seal where the vavles are. The car runs fine though. Which confuses me. The only time its a problem is when I go from highway driving to slow stop and go city driving, or occasionally when I hit redline, or so I believe its redline (no RPM guage).
