Has anyone tried E3 sparkplugs? I just installed a set and it seems to be causing some sputtering. Has anyone had any probem with these plugs?

cont.

I had the dual tips and they worked fine, but the diamondfire thing was hyped up pretty good. Why are our engines so picky about plugs?

those e3 plugs serve one purpose, to lure in gullable people. they are junk, just champion plugs(YUCK!) with a fancy pants electrode.
