Re: spark plug gap
Don't quote me on this but I believe the gap is supposed to be .039-.043... My book says a 1998 2.0 and 2.4 have that gap...

yeah, my gs was gapped at .050 but it started running really hot and the car was shuddering and everything, sucked ass, until i decided to gap them down to .040 and the problem disappeared.

Re: spark plug gap
If they are gapped too much, the spark won't be able to jump the gap and it will sputter and misfire.
