It's not an MR2 issue, it's a people not changing their plugs frequently enough issue. Plus it happens more frequently in turbo engines.

toxo Also, if you're using iridium plugs you need to be VERY sure that you don't keep them in the engine a minute longer than the manufacturers specified service life. We have lost 6 MR2 engines on IMOC recently due to iridium plug disintegration and they were all past their shelf life.

So what is the life span of the IK20s?

Not sure really. I think Denso rate them in mileage. I am only guessing but I imagine the mileage is a lot more important, there's not a lot going to happen to them (in terms of deterioration) just sitting there, only in use. I guess perhaps if they were 10 years old or something then it might be different.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll still be fine at 2.5 years old, just go by the mileage.
