So my stock 89' 240sx was off the road for a few months. The car was running really bad after some very cold weather here in Texas. Found that the injector for cylinder #2 was bad. I went ahead and replaced all my injectors on the SOCH. The car was running much better but not 100%. I went ahead and replaced the fuel filter, distributor cap, and the sparkplugs. I checked the gap on the plugs I pulled, cylinder #2 had a gap of .56, and I have read after searching that .44 is what is recommended cylinder #1 and 3# were good cylinder#4 was a little low at .42. My question is, what would have caused the gap on cylinder #2 to be so off? I am 90% certain that the bad injector on cylinder#2 was flooding the cylinder, due to the fact that a fair amount of gas poured out when I removed it. The car was still bogging down at take off after I replaced the injectors, I am pretty sure that was due to my plugs being fouled. I am going to change my oil tomorrow I have been using Valvoline Max Life 10W 30, is there another brand that would be any better for my stock KA24E? Any feedback is appreciated, Thank you.

Could have to do with bad gas. Could try and fill it with a full tank of 93 and see if that helps at all.
