P0300

I am getting P0300 which is misfires......I am running the NGK 2 step colder plugs and i managed to gap them to the specified gapping for the kit.. ..if they cannot be gapped could this be the reason im getting the misifire. If so i should get another set and just throw them in there even though the kit called for .035..


Thanks

Try gapping them smaller. .032, Im at .028 but im also boosting 25psi. Also try cleaning the injectors seals. i had a random misfire and after cleaning the seals it went away.

im pretty sure that boost reference fuel kit is probably the way to go to stop the rough idle but the misifres i have no idea how to stop considering i have changed the plugs twice already. im not sure about lowering the plug gap considering the kit called for this gapping
