No, even with today's computer controlled cars, you can't just stick any old spark plug into the engine and expect the engine to operate exactly the same. That's a very stupid statement.
Hey there, friend: you can call me stupid all ya like.... but YOU are the one making a fool of yourself here.

The ecu doesn't HAVE to control "the intensity", as you call it. All the ecu has to do is measure (with the o2 sensor) how close to stoichiometry the burn is, and then adjust from there, as necessary.

You're sure arguing a lot, for a guy who doesn't understand the subject matter.
