You mention boots, the boots won't
keep the plugs from getting loose,
do you mean the spark plug wires/boots
are coming loose ?

The wires need to click on, if they don't
click, they will work loose and fall off, then
you will loose power from cylinders not firing

Yeah that's what I was trying to figure out too.  I didn't think the actual plug was coming loose.

The boot has too "click" onto the plug in order to stay connected.

OK, well that's good.
The plugs should be turned about
1/4 turn after the washer touches
the head, this is a rough statement
as the plugs really need to be torqued.
