Broken spark plug
Trailing
Leading
So I got a p0301 the other day, reset it and had no further code til today. (It was only in pending) I checked the plugs and saw that the leading plug had lost its lead. Does this necessarily mean rebuild territory or could I be in the clear? I haven’t gotten a compression test quite yet.

They shouldn't come off easily. Make sure you get them through a legitimate source. I doubt that many people would bother making fake spark plugs for a low-volume car like ours, but you never know. I recommend Mazmart.
If you are lucky, the lead could just have got blown out of the exhaust port before doing any damage. If you are unlucky, it could have scraped something. The only way to know is with the compression test.

Autozone should be a reliable source. I was just worried if you got them from some random eBay guys. I recommended Mazmart because they sell a set(2 of leading and trailing) for a decent price and is a good vendor.
