Head is broken I believe that the person or mechanic that installed the plug either didn’t know how to do this or didn’t care and was in a rush bc the coil pack clip was broke as well as the plug being cross threaded | |

Bite the bullet and repair this properly unless this vehicle is destined for the junk yard already. Pull the head, extract the broken plug, repair the threads (I like TimeSert inserts over Heli-coils but they are more expensive - at least the tools are), and put it back together properly. | |
