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.
