Subject: [TR] Iridium tip spark plugs
A friend gave me a set of NGK iridium spark plugs BPR6EIX to try.
Inside the box there was a warning about trying to gap them can cause the
electrode to break so I put them in as is with the gap measured as .030".
The car runs very poorly with lots of hesitation coming off idle. Would
this be because of the gap, or is copper a better material for non high
energy ignition systems and the iridium just makes them last longer? I was
going to try gapping them, but I think I'll just put the old NGK's back in.
