On an unrelated front, the third spark plug is stuck in the head. Won't turn. Garage guy even gave up on it. Any ideas on how to get it unstuck?
Thanks, Joe

Is it still blowing fuses?
Proceed carefully; damaging the threads in the head can get a lot more expensive than a sparkplug.
I'd park it on Friday evening, let it cool an hour or so, then start applying a good penetrating oil like Liquid Wrench. WD-40 is not a good choice, it's not really a lube or penetrant, but a protective spray.
Reapply several times at intervals of a few hours through Saturday and see if it'll come loose using a breaker bar; perhaps put a good strain on it, then tap the end if the breaker bar in the same direction as you're pulling. That might get it out.
