[Miata] Misfiring

[Larry Alster]

I doubt revving the engine too high hurt your plugs but there is no way you could rev the engine too high.

There is something called a rev limiter and most drivers hit it from time to time with no issues.

  The issue of spark plugs seems to be an issue I ask questions about too
  much...

  I know the Miata eats plugs and wires for lunch.  The first time I
  replaced the plugs and wires, I did so with the Bosche Platinum plugs
  and NGK blue wires.  They lasted a year.  Replaced them with the same. 
  Now, 3 months later?!?!  Could there be some other issue that has caused
  them to fail so quickly?  I reved the car too high in November during a
  snowstorm in November.  I got so frustrated, I accidently forgot to
  switch gears as I tried harder and harder to dig myself an even deeper
  hole.  Could that have reduced their life?  I do realize the error of my
  ways; I know I went about getting unstuck in completely the wrong way.

  I'm driving a 93 LE.
