But overall I don't think you'll hurt anything else by driving it, just keep it below half throttle and below 3500 rpms to try not to put too high of a load on the engine while the fault is active. My concern right now with my car is more related to catalytic converter temps, not the plugs.

Judging from my past experience with the Nissan dealer, it will probably be at least a week, maybe two before the part will be in. Drive it easy till then.
I presume a rich condition is way better than a lean condition. Wouldn't that also be easier on the CAT? I had a stretch where the MPG just started dropping like a rock. I used my scanner to reset the code and it seemed to stabilize. I have a truck to drive too but I am getting tired of its 14mpg.
Thanks for the input have a great one!
