You haven't thought this through, huh?

You've obviously never seen a carbon track down the side of a spark plug or a cracked DIS module. Don't worry, you aren't the only clueless one in this thread, take this one for instance:

Hint: most vehicles today use COP and DIS modules for the spark plugs. These things are mounted outside of the engine, they operate at much higher voltages than older vehicles, and they can sometimes suffer from small cracks. I've seen such modules sparking to adjacent metal surfaces and I've seen engine fires started due to those problems.


I love how these threads bring out the ignorant...
