Have you tried this on your trajet?

 

Bosch's revolutionary firing technology offers the Platinum +4 Spark Plug, the most powerful spark plug you can buy. How does it work? Four ground electrodes provide multiple radial spark paths, letting the spark find its most efficient path. Platinum +4 delivers a longer and more powerful spark which will boost your car's engine performance, give you better fuel economy, reduce your vehicle's emissions and provide you with smoother acceleration.

Bosch's pure platinum technology uses a pure platinum center electrode, heat-fused into an extended insulator tip, which reaches its self-cleaning temperature faster to eliminate wear and reduce fouling. The four yttrium-enhanced ground electrodes give a longer performance life and the factory pre-set gap means that you will never have to adjust the Platinum +4

These are expensive and they don't really work on every car. Americans at BITOG already discussed about it. Usually works on Toyotas but so far no reports on Hyundais yet. Didn't go to well with Hondas.

Well the problem with the multiprong design is that it inhibits flow in and out of the critical spark area because only one fires at a time in any case.

 

Selection of materials is should also not be based on performance but on the ignition system as well. For example wasted spark systems should not use single platinum or iridium point electrodes. Because they fire backwards (wasted spark), they wil cause premature erosion of the electrode. Double platinium plugs are recommended for such a system to maintain life.

 

Then there is temperature. Temperature is not a plug's friend. CNG systems got to use colder plugs. Also if the tip is too sharp/thin, it will be glowing hot. There will be a hot spot in the combustion chamber.

 

All these point to one thing. Inability to tolerate ignition advances well. Of course you can solve this by using high octane petrol. dizzy.gif Hmmm....spend more money so that you can spend more money. laugh.gif
