"You're making the assumption that electricity reaching the plug is instantaneous. It's not. As soon as enough electrons build up on the electrode and are able to make the spark, it will. With platinum plugs it will do this with fewer electrons and thus a weaker spark. Remember the relief valve analogy?"
Im not seeing this for some reason. Spark is triggered at a precise time, at which high voltage is sent down the plug wire, making the plug spark at a predetermined "advance timing degree before TDC" if you will. now, if were on the same page, your saying the coils are tuned for platinum plugs, having a lower voltage to compensate for the lower voltage "firing" characteristics of platinum plugs? This could be true, or maybe im just brain dead today...lol. eithier way, please save the basic analogies. |
