Pulstar plugs

the logic behind the idea seems like it makes sense. Any thoughts?

and what logic is that?

use the search, these plugs have been debated for a while and most report more harm than good. stick to NGK, they are the best for our cars.

well, the idea of using a cap in the plug to create a larger or more powerful spark would possibly result in a better ignition of the fuel in the chamber. And yes I shall use the search lol.

While at a traffic light or during heavy traffic the car would sporadically stall. I would have to use both peddles just to keep it from stalling.

Again, horrible plugs for the VQ30. Don't waste your money.
im sure if you search further you can find more people saying they are worthless. there have been lots of threads on these plugs.

This is the third thread I have seen about these things, no one frankly gives a damn about them.
