71237, Plug Gaps. Posted by Blizare, Mar-22-04 06:53 PM Okay. I never check my plug gaps when I put the new NGK's in. Sue Me. Anyways, I decided to pull them out today cause of a little sputter/misfire. They were all .44, shouldn't they be .60? I think thats what I read????? So I gapped them to .60. Now it's being a little wierd atill. What is correct? I don't wanna search. NooBs!...search! | |

71242, RE: Plug Gaps. Posted by speedtek, Mar-22-04 07:31 PM hmmm, im havin the same problem with my car....when i give it gas or even when i floor it sputters, studders, pops and all that crap... i replaced the plugs with some Bosch (heard worst brand to buy) but oh well...yeah the day i instaleld them it ran fine, but the next day, the porblem even got worse... so i did some readin and the gap should be between .40 and .50 if im not mistaken....thats what ive read in the search forums.....but thats juss my 2 cents | |

71251, RE: Plug Gaps. Posted by DR1665, Mar-23-04 02:59 AM 90% of the misfire problems here can be solved with new plug wires. Get the Bosch at AutoZone for like $30 and a lifetime warranty. Should take care of it. If you've never changed them, now might be a good time. If they don't solve the problem, further investigation is required. :P | |

71256, RE: Plug Gaps. Posted by Blizare, Mar-23-04 04:36 AM Brian, There ain't no Autozone here...lol But anyways, I just bought new 7mm Wires. I'm gonna gap at .50 and go from there. | |

71260, RE: Plug Gaps. Posted by ez, Mar-23-04 06:57 AM People seem to gap anywhere between .035 to .05 for our cars. I gap to the smaller range, b/c the gap expands over time. I gapped my previous set of plugs to .035. When I changed them later (when the car was stuttering) I remeasured them and gap increased to .05+. Last set of plugs I happed to .039 | |

71347, RE: Plug Gaps. Posted by Blizare, Mar-24-04 05:42 AM I gapped at.060 and it kind of stuttered under throttlr. So I droped it down to .050. Now she runs and idles nice. | |

76582, RE: Plug Gaps. Posted by EclipsedChef, Jun-25-04 05:43 PM i have ngk wires and plugs(one range hotter) and i have them gapped to .042, it seems to give me the best idle, acceleration. But then again i have a weird hesitation problem that no one can solve so go figure | |
