Ref your second post ......... "unless you cut away some of the thread called the chopped plug method".

I think you mean a "plug chop" - this has nothing to do with physically cutting plug - it means killing the ignition at max load so that the plug "records" the conditions via deposits on the ceramic and/or electrodes.

If you don't kill the ignition as above but come into the pits as normal with the engine running you'll not get any sensible readings from the plug.
