    Question Pulstar Iridium spark plug ok to use?

    Pulstar Iridium spark plug
    Need to know if the VX can handle a hot plug same for coils?
    I am getting 13 mpg and would like to improve mpg so has anyone tried this plug or have any feedback as to max temp on head?

    update
    runs like brand new with these plugs

    Features & Benefits
    Ultra-high power spark plug replacement. With over 1,000,000 W of patented (13 issued patents) ignition power, the pulstar pulse plug creates a very precise, relative to timing, fast growing flame kernel (2X faster than spark plugs) that delivers improved performance and fuel economy while reducing emissions. The 0.5 mm fine wire iridium tip promotes reduced cycle to cycle variations in peak combustion pressure that results in improved throttle response and acceleration. The pulstar pulse plug has a lifetime warranty. Guaranteed• Pulsar has 10 times more peak power than a spark plug
    • More horsepower
    • Improve the performance of your vehicle
    • Better than a spark plug

    Sorry! More HP = Less MPG. That's the way the game is played. Simple. Also, anything but the OEM plug is thought to cause other problems. Talk to Merlin at St. Charles Isuzu to learn more.

    Ya plugs isn't the problem.. 13 is in the norm.

    Also, more power doesn't mean less gas milage always. Depends on many factors. My Mitsubishi Evo was getting 17mpg stock as an average.. now with 150 more hp over stock it gets 24 on average. Best is to have a tunable car and make the engine breath better. But ya the vx is fat and under powered so its going to drink. We get about 17 on hwy and 12 around town.

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    On summer gas my wife and I average very close to 20 mpg, all stock '99 models. With winter gas we average 15 mpg. Fact of life winter gas gives less mileage.

    As far as power and mpg is concerned, with normally aspirated engines, there is no way on earth with more hp you can get more mpg, all things being equal. It's against the laws of physics

    Also, to get better mileage plugs won't help.







    Also, to fix mileage don't look to the plugs, rather clean or replace the fuel filter and/or oxygen sensors.

    Agreed. It depends on the factors involved.

    I once had a mid 80's Mustang GT with a stock engine that would get about 20 mpg Hwy. I swapped the motor for another one utilizing higher compression heads with an aftermarket high-performance valve train, a higher performance cam, high-performance intake manifold, after-market full length tube headers, and a block that had been bored over standard to accommodate high-performance pistons with custom Total Seal rings. The intake, heads, and headers were all smoothed and port-matched to improve flow efficiency. Altogether, I netted an increase of about 155 hp. The improved flow efficiency and power-to-weight ratio of the new engine in the same car meant that the new engine didn't have to work as hard and my Hwy mileage as a result went up from about 20 to 28-30.
