Anyone using Denso Iridium spark plugs...
Number IK22? I just pulled them after my engine failure (w/8 miles on them.) I was hoping they might give me a clue to which cylinder failed but they all looked normal. Upon close inspection I found something unusual. The spark plugs out of cylinders 1, 3, & 6 had a problem. The porcelain sleeve around the electrode coming out of the plug where all broken away from the plug and slide up and down the electrode all the way to the tip. Could this have caused my problem... maybe ran too lean because of the lack of spark from the plugs???

Not going to run lean from lack of spark. Either not going to burn at all (no spark), or incomplete combustion (delayed spark past TDC, valves opening, etc.). But running lean or serious detonation may have caused the damage to the plugs (ie, the plugs are the symptom, not the cause).
