under PERFECT conditions multiple electrode plugs might spark at 2 MAYBE even 3 of the tips. As soon as any engine conditions are less that absolutely perfect, one of the electrodes will be of least resistance, and that ONE will get teh spark. Pull out a mutli-electrode plug and spit power through it. You will see it only sparking to one of the electrodes, maybe even two. They will alternate the electrode which gets teh spark, but basically never will they spark to more than one tip. Unless its a rotoary engine which uses special mutli-electrode tips, they are pretty much a gimic for those who dont understand that electricity goes to the path of least resistance, rather than all the paths possible.
