You should screw plug caps onto leads, not push. Try trimming plug leads a little (making sure beforehand that you will still have the length to reach the caps without having the leads stretched so tight that they pull at the caps), then screw the caps onto the leads (not leads into caps). Can't understand how having them hovering above the caps doesn't affect running!
Or do you mean plug caps are not staying in place? If so, replace the caps with new - they do sometimes lose their grip over time once they've been on & off a few times. And still can't understand how running alright with plug caps effectively off!!
