yes, i understand that this should *probably* be in the MS forums section.... however, i'm trying to get Brents attention... because this may be an issue that's a problem
my co-worker (store manager.... i work at schucks) was telling a customer about the foes of the 4.0L ford's ignition system having problems with non oem spark plugs...... ie, the edis6 ignitions....
after perking my insterest (because my aw11 had been having driving problems until i swapped the plugs... one of which looked melted/ground down) we talked about what he was telling the customer (obviously a bit more technical). Turns out that ford claims that the only plug other than the oe motormite plug that can handle the edis waste spark setup is an autolite double platinum. I almost believe this after seeing my ngk plugs start to wither away after only 600 or so miles driven on the motor....
for those that don't know, the edis wasted spark setup actually fires 2 times per cycle.... once at tdc and once at bdc.... which means the spark plug doesn't have as much time to cool down between sparks, causing the cores to stay hotter.....
so.... this really is directed mostly at Brent since he seems to have been running a boosted MS 4ag the longest... what plugs are you using? how long have they been lasting? any woes you've noticed?
also.... the boost issue..... was talking with someone else and i guess the boost can cause the platinum core to crack and come apart.... leaving bits inside your engine....
