I seem to recall reading that it is easier for the spark to jump the
gap on platinum plugs, hence making the spark "cooler" or something
like that.

This may explain why, if the M20 is expecting a certain amount of
combustion, it doesn't run well on the PP.

I can't verify my source on this though...
