Description:

Pulse plugs incorporate a pulse circuit, which stores incoming electrical energy from the ignition system and releases the stored energy in a powerful pulse of power. Instead of 50 watts of peak power typical of all spark plugs, pulse plugs deliver up to 1 million watts of peak power. So where does the pulse plug get its incredible power?
When the ignition signal is sent to a traditional spark plug, it begins to ionize the spark gap. This means that the voltage builds in the gap until a spark can be formed. During this ionization phase, which lasts about 5 millionths of a second, the incoming voltage (which has nowhere to go) heats up ignition components including the spark plug. This is wasted energy. When the ignition voltage overcomes the resistance in the spark gap, the spark is created with an initial discharge of approximately 50 watts. Once created, the spark resides between the electrodes at very low power for over a period of 30 millionths of a second.
What is different about a pulse plug is that instead of heating ignition parts during the ionization phase, this energy is stored in the integral circuit inside the pulse plug. When the ignition power overcomes the resistance in the spark gap, the pulse circuit discharges all of its accumulated power - 1 million watts - in 2 billionths of a second!

I was looking into buying six Pulstar plugs for my Jeep Liberty with the gas hog 3.7 V6 but I did my home work (for a change) first and went to two forum sites that use the 3.7 V6 and asked about these plugs.. I was NOT happy to read; "I have looked into this and talked with 5 employees who ran most of the test. 75% of the time the plugs break durring install. The 25% that make it in right; then fail 80% of the time due to heat.But people are so fricken lazy they never ask for there money back.the ones that do make it work ok. but do not last long at all. They all break way to soon. less than 30K Your best bet is to stick with Stock plugs for now, replace as needed. This means check them every 15K for the right Gap. Once you see wear on them replace them."************* True or not true?? ******Thanks.. Bill in NW Ohio
