Well, the whole lack of maintenance thing applies to using the wrong parts.

Ehhhhh - I'm gonna say no to that - this was NOT normal wear. It looked
like the spark plugs had been visciously attacked by a drunkin spot
welder. You could see splatter from what I assume was the electrodes
blowing themselves to peices. The guy bought the van used and said it
was in pristine condition. The plugs looked pretty new from the threads
up to the top (where the wires connect) So that why him and I had
concluded that the OEM platinum plugs were replaced with the coppers at
some point.
