having mismatched plug wires shouldn't hurt it. I've had plug ends fall off inside the wire too. The new NGK's do not unscrew, they are made onto the electrode.

I took an old plug, hammered the porcelain off of it, grinded down the little lip by the threads, then stuck it inside the wire untill it hit the lodged in tip, screwed it onto the tip, and pulled it out.

I'd see if you can hear where its coming from while running and pull that plug/wire.
