I've been gapping them down to .025 per other info on this forum. Maybe thats why i've been having missing problems when its cold.

I wouldn't see why to gap them other than stock.

There has been many post on plug gapping, and most said to gap them down.

Default AWE is saying to leave them what they come out of the box. I'm starting to like the wheels better

than the fliks. Haven't had time to clean the car up and get good pictures yet. I've been really busy with moving and working.

Default Don't see how a tighter gap would cause misfires on a properly designed system.

A wider gap would though.

Too much fuel, and not a hot enough spark during warm up

Default Spark would be hotter with a tighter gap....

Fuel atomization is the issue at warm-up not spark gap. Injectors.

Default I've always been under the impression that the larger gap will create a hotter burn because of the

bigger spark, as long as you aren't gapped too big where the spark is having trouble jumping the gap.
