Which plugs were these? "All I know is that from what I saw on the plug tester vs a std plug, the spark looked like a plasma ball vs a flickering spark and it didn't blow out anywhere as easy." The platinum ones you mentioned before?
I'm interested because eventually I'll have quad throttle efi on my a15 and if I can lean it off more during cruise/ idle it'll use less fuel. Stronger spark will make it easier to get started the first time to.
Cheers for all the input!
The platinums (no idea on brand or model, it was 15 years ago) had a big fat plasma ball type spark whereas the stds just had a thin lightning type arc. The platinums also held their spark with quite a bit more air pressure compared to the stds.
I can't see why the engine would run hotter just because the plugs are platinum? Maybe they didn't get the plug heat range correct but otherwise you are not putting anymore fuel in, just (maybe) burning it more efficiently, so there shouldn't be more heat released?
