Default Which spark plugs?

I have had my spark plugs recently changed car has full Honda history and is maintained meticulously! I usually do long ish runs but only use the car a couple of times a week. Anyway I drove my car the other day and my V-TEC is totally flat have I got the wrong plugs fitted I went with NGK iridiums which I now believe after reading on the internet the car wasn't specced with and this could be causing my problem. Oil fine and good colour as well. If anyone can help I would appreciate it so I can get this fixed, am I causing the car any damage by using it?

Thanks for any help!

There are people that happily run the NGK Iridiums with no complaints having said that a quick search found someone who was in the same boat https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/101...ix-bkr7eix-11/

Sometimes a plug change can highlight a coil that might be on its way out - I'd try checking/closing the gaps a bit to see if it has any effect.

Did you check the spark plug gaps when fitting new ones ?
