Quick plug gap help needed....

[Jason2215]

i used the search, but I can't quite find what I need...half the posts I read say gap @ .44, and half say like .28. Which gap do I use for my N/T? (97 GS) I pulled out the plugs in there now, and they are NGK BKR6ES gapped @ .44 Is this correct?

I'm trying to correct a poor gas mileage issue I'm having, so this is my next guess...next is the 02 sensor. Thanks!

The manual says to use Champion RC9YC5's gapped @ .048-.053.....i'm guessing i should not be gapping anything @ .28, but I'd still like to know for sure.

Definatly not .028 on a n/t. I would go .044 (not 100% positive)

If you really want to know I would have the champions cross referenced with the NGKs or do some more searching.

Someone else will post im sure.

Here is something I found

Thanks! I saw that one too...Maybe I'll gap a set a little smaller and see what happens. Wouldn't want to hurt anything,though.

Thanks again, at least now I won't gap anything in the 20's.

I used to gap mine at .050 and they worked fine.

I would not gap the plugs closer on a N/T car. A larger gap actually helps with cold start and part throttle driving at the expense of wearing out the wires quicker, but minimally if you keep it down to about .050.

Yes, .028 is for turbos.
