It appears that something has entered and exited cylinder 4. It caused the spark plug to foul out because of no gap. When looking in the cylinder with a bore scope you can see that the piston is cleaned off with small knicks in the top surface. It appears that there is a Technical Service Bulletin about this problem. Apparently some screws are coming off the Power Module ( I think that is what it is called ) and are getting sucked into the motor. Have you heard of this problem? My car is out of warrenty because of mileage. Is there something I can do to fix the missing screws?

Thanks

I think they have a recall for that. Its the power valve, the screws tend to get loose and sometimes the plate comes off and gets sucked in the cylinders. I would contact your local dealership to have them look at it.
