Def not the plug. Once we got away from carburettors, combustion chamber conditions became much more controlled. I quit messing with conventional spark plugs. The set in my Eclipse were perfectly serviceable after 100K. Not really burned so just gapped and reinstalled them.

When I replaced the coil packs on my daughter's Acura, I pulled one of the iridium-tipped plugs just to check. At 150K, it was practically new.
