Okay so I did research and ended up going with NGK brp6es gaped at .80 it cleaned up my idle but now when I get on it, it has hesitation and stutters.... Is that too big of a gap for the stock coil packs? What should I close the gap to? The plugs that were in it were like someone baught them and stuck them in with like a gap of .20

Please help

Stock gap should be 1.1, .8 if you are having issues with spark being blown out, how old are your coilpacks? They may be on their way out, have you checked for vacuum leaks as well?

Plugs shouldn't have to be gapped down that tight unless your coil packs are going bad or it is running a lot of boost & fuel. The coil packs are likely old and beginning to fail. Time to upgrade ;)

.8" is huge... 0.8mm is what you're after or close to .035"

Oh right, metric vs Imperial. Why can't everyone just use farkin metric?
