No, but burning oil will give you bad spark plugs.
It was cheaper to burn, there was no spark plugs, and it was a better efficient engine then others that were invented at the time.
An engine that burns oil will usually foul the spark plugs. That, in turn will cause ignition misfire, higher emissions and likely damage the catalytic converter.
Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.
Yes this is possible. There is a second set of spark plugs that fire shortly after the primary spark plugs fire to burn any remaining fuel out of the cylinder. This is done to lower emissions. This is a very common setup on the 2.3L Ford Ranger engine as well.
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.

That would be very rare.
This Is A 4 Cyclinder Engine. Four Of The Plugs Provide Spark For Ignition To Run Engine, The Other Fire Into The Exhaust Gases To Burn As Much Fumes As They Can. This Helps Give The Engine A Higher EPA Rating & Burning Off Excess Gas Helps Lower Smog. Hope This Helps
there are 12 plugs..6 fire the cylinders and then the remaining burn the remaining fuel in the exhaust before it goes out the tail pipe this lowers the emisions of the car.
This was a design Ford tried on the 4 cylinder engine. The 2 plugs per cylinder was supposed to give you a more complete burn of fuel thus increasing power and mileage. When replacing the plugs, install 8 on this engine.
Generally this is going to be an indicator or a fuel problem, as the engine is sending too much raw fuel to the cat to burn. First things to check would be spark plugs or wires. Running with a cat burning red hot for long can cause the cat to fail, and in worse senarios even burn through the floorboard.
It depends on the type of engine and number of cylinders (for piston aircraft) however normally it is 2 spark plugs per cylinder. Giving redundancy, better fuel burn. -flight instructor
