I have repeated issues with colder plugs, I fry then in like 2k miles. the arm over electrode looks glazed white like ceramic and i get misfire trouble codes. this happened with Densso itv 22 and 24 and the NGKs, So i am gonna go back to stock plugs ! fuck this bs.

I may consider trying itv 20 stock heat and see if they hold up. its happening more often ive got the maf tuned to about 12-12.5 A/F

I wanted to ask can anyone explain why i am having plug issues .... they come out looking like the car runs lean even before I made air/fuel higher. and we all know the car runs rich.

im having the same issue. I've gone through 2 sets of ITV22s, getting misfire codes in different cylinders. I've changed the coil packs around, so i know its not the problem. Im thinking of goin back to stock as well. and yes i've checked the gap multiple times.

on the good side, i can get my TMIC off in 5 mins flat now cause i've had to change my plugs so many dang times.
