Yes, although I've never had a spark plug resistor fail as yet ... however I have had resistors in the plug caps fail.

On my old GT380 I used to use platinum plugs (later replaced with Iridiums) and non-resistor caps, and they never, ever needed re-gapping or cleaning. Used to give the tired old ignition system a helping hand
