By the way, ppetruccelli, I'm not quite sure what to make of the argument that a clean plug will put less stress on a coil than a dirty plug. All I can tell you is that all of the plugs...

It's the coils, folks. Pure and simple. Coils do not like heat and vibration. And guess where they're mounted? You got it . . . right in the engine.

Well now you've got me on that one, ppetruccelli. How can a dirty plug make a coil crap out? And why did my coils go bad with only 11K on my plugs?

Re: Re: Re: Got dyno?

Unlikely, but not impossible. I do, in fact, experience a little low rpm detonation in hot weather or when I heat soak my engine. I won't take the time to discuss why that may be happening,...
