Re: spark plugh gap
4202 PLATINUM PART 2RZ-FE; Gap=.032
FR8DPX PLATINUM PLUG 2RZ-FE; Gap=.032 4301 PLATINUM2 2RZ-FE; Do not Gap 4418 PLATINUM+4 2RZ-FE; Do not Gap I suggest you use the factory-recommended NGK or Denso plugs and not Bosch. I have heard the resistance of the Bosch plugs is different than that of the NGK or Denso plugs and may cause problems with your ignition.

Re: spark plugh gap
well i just took off my spark plugs and the the gaps range from .036 to .045 and i put the new plugs at .032. would this improve anything cause i did feel a difference.

Re: spark plugh gap
New plugs always help somewhat. There is no harm in carefully installing good plugs.

Re: spark plugh gap
Only if the original set is malfunctioning. You can loose hp by installing junk.

Re: spark plugh gap
As I mentioned above, I have heard that some brands of spark plugs have different resistances than that of the OEM plugs. This may cause problems with the ignition system. The same would hold true for the wires. Also, some brands of wires would be much more prone to breakage and have defects just from installation.

Re: spark plugh gap
If you're missing on one or more cylinders, then check the wires and replace them as needed. If you aren't missing, don't bother.
