    plug gap ?

    heres the deal .ive always ran my plugs at .35 and a couple weeks ago i changed to .32.i saw alot of people saying f/i went .32 so i tried it.trucks been running ok but not impressive for 10 psi.my idle was set at 750 so this week i had allen set it at 650 it drove the same as usual for 2 days.now when i start up after about a minute when the idle comes down its skipping .no its not the cam .thats a diff skip.this is a hit and miss skip that seems to do it at normal driving going down the rd also.just everynow and then at cruising i feel alittle hicup also.most noticibly at just lightly pushing the pedal skip skip skip go.so my question is will the plug gap cause this change.?maybe by lowering idle fouled a plug.thanks ahead.

    I know Duckysbht had a similar problem. Only his would pop at WOT too. He switched back to the stock plugs gapped to .60 and it fixed the problem. Maybe check for a crack in the plug??? If not I would go back to the .35 gap and see if it made a difference.

    yeah, if everything with you motor was fine at .035 and it has gotten worse at .032, then go back to .035...
