Default Opti spark plug

I just noticed the plug that goes in the top of the opti spark wasn't pushed all the way on to where it would snap on and I can see some moisture in there, there is a accel vented opti spark on there now, problem is I can't seem to be able to push it on far enough for it to snap, is it that hard to push it all the way on?

This is probably what is causing the hesitation and ses light to be coming on

Pull it out once and make sure nothing's preventing it from snapping in. Shouldn't be extremely hard to get it to snap.

I would unplug it and hold a hair dryer on both ends for a while to get rid of the moisture that's in it.

4th item down: CRC Electronic Cleaner
Then....reinstall the plug after applying some dielectric grease.

arrrgree ^^^ probly be a good idea to check all the plug wires and coil wire to make sure they are installed correctly. and add some electric grease to them as well.
