I have a 1995 Toyota T100 SR5 V6 with over 189,000 miles. Recently I heard a clicking sound coming from the engine. Looking under the hood I noticed that one of the spark plug boot (drivers side, front of the engine) was moving up and down. Putting my finger on top of the boot, I could feel like something was pushing it up rapidly. The engine idles normally until I push down on the boot and it stalls for a second and returns to normal idle. What type of repair work am I looking at?

I would remove the boot and see if the plug is loose! Dont stand in front of it with the engine running! Plugs can be blown out of the engine with enough force to kill or seriously injure you.
