I still believe that a spark plug is a very simple part that hardly ever fails and folks throw them away when there is absolutely nothing wrong with them.

They don't fail, but over time they pick up deposits and the electrodes erode. They're a wear item.

RX8 dies on idle. Can this be caused by a dirty air box, filter, intake?
