[Diy_efi] OT - platinum plugs burning up wires

[Rick McLeod]

Sorry for being off topic, but I know there is a lot
of knowledge in this area on this list, and this might
be of interest to discuss (remember the recent plug
discussion?)

Recently I had an issue w/ a Hyundai where the plugs
were replaced w/ platinum at a tune up. A few k-miles
down the road, the car began running poorly, and was
taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed as having
'burned up ignition wires'. The service advisor stated
that you MUST NOT use platinum plugs in these cars
since it will cause this to happen.

My question is: What is different about them that
would cause this, it sounds like 'bunk' to me, but am
looking to the vast world of knowledge on this list to
get some insight.

Thanks
