problem.. looking for answers.

so anyways i had pulled out that broken plug that was on the site a few days ago... well rockauto sent me some autolite plugs that were gapped at .45... put those in and was l ike wtf and realized after i took them out that the stock ones were at .35 if thats even right for what rockauto.com says.... so i ordered some and the arrived today. put them in and holly **** the car still runs like they are gapped at .45... i have no power and sounds like im running off 3 cylinders. pulled the plugs out and they look fine but i dont know what the problem is now. i threw a CEL but really cant read it for some reason with the hahn tuner. any ideas??

dont use those shitty coin gappers btw, get yourself a feeler gauge and the right tool for closing the gap.

Get the factory AC Delco Iridiums at a local auto parts store. The cars are picky with the ignition system.

yeah thats what i got right now is the originally acdelcos... ill check the gap tommrow once i get to the shop at work. hopefully i have no problems i mean from my eye they look gapped right but could be off... at first they were running good i let them sit in there and run. since i had those *****y autolites that were in there before i thought maybe the ecu or something should realize hey these are the right ones. but after like 10mins of being parked running i went to test drive it and when i went to get on it a little bit it sounded like crap i know its a missfire. now it sounds like crap at idle. so i dunno like i said i pulled the plugs out to make sure i didnt burn them up or whatever but they look fine so hopefully just a gap issue.
