A buddy of mine bought himself a 'new to him' Chevrolet truck(( I think he said it's a '98 or '99)) with the V8. The second day he drove it put on the Check Engine Light, so he put a scanner on it and it showed a misfire on number 7.
Since he just bought it, he decided a tune up was in order. When he changed the plugs he said he went to set the plug that he pulled out of number 7 down, and it stood up on the electrode. Basically it was so magnetized that it had enough pull to stand up where it would have typically fallen down. He told me about it, and then showed me over the weekend. In the week since he had changed it some of the magnetism had died off, but there was no doubt that it was still magnetized enough to stick to something with one of the flats on the hex.
My buddy and I both though it strange that the misfire code was thrown on the cylinder with the magnetic qualities. At the same time neither of us can figure out how what is basically an electrode with current flowing straight through it, could become magnetized when it usually takes multiple coils to cause that to happen.
So, my question here is, has anyone ever seen this happen, and does anyone have any idea how it could have happened?

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
