Spark plugs suggestion

If so, what is the purpose of ever changing changing them?
You seem yo be taking an ureasonable position in an effort to disagree with me.

Fact: A spark plugs spark intensity (quality) diminishes over the the life of a plug. This is well documented.
The only thing that can be argued is how much it deteriorates at any given point and at what point an individual chooses to change the plug.

all this poor grammar and you still haven't explained how a spark can deteriorate. a spark is a freakin spark. either it's there, or it's not. how can the "quality" or your new word "intensity" change for an airborne electricity transfer? does the coil somehow send "less" voltage?

you just need to pick a different word. i know you're trying to win this battle by insinuating that i think that spark plugs never "go bad" but you're avoiding my original comment about "deterioration of spark". either there's a spark, or there's not a spark. an overgapped (worn out) spark plug is going to either throw a larger spark (further distance for the electricity to jump = bigger spark) or it's not going to spark at all, because the coil cannot produce enough voltage to bridge the gap from the electrode to the ground. in this case there is NO spark. so, either there's a spark or there's no spark. explain your new term "intensity" please. you seem to assume that the spark plug itself somehow creates voltage or something, and the older it gets, the "less" intensity it fires at.

8th grade physics provided this explanation for you by the way.

Not where a spark plug is concerned.
One of the benefits of an iridium plug is the thin center electrode that enables the spark to be intensified (or focused if you will) and this has shown to give a bit better performance.
Also the thinner electrode has shown to require a lower voltage to prduce a hotter spark. Yes spark temps can vary.
Votltages are not always rock stable at a plug
.
Also, there is more resistance for electrons to jump a gap when under compression.

So yes, it's a proven fact that spark quality can vary and it can effect performace. To what degree is the only thing that is open to discussion.

This horse is dead, Why do you continue to beat it?:
You have now have resorted to complain about my "grammer" and putting words in my mouth.
