Question About Foul Plugs.
Well...Today I was driving and all the sudden, the car died. I pulled over at a seven eleven and I cant figure out what is giong on. I check the IC piping, the Bipes connections, looks for oil, didnt find nothing. well eventually, ten minutes later, i found that the Pipe off the Throttle Body poped off. Well before I figured this out, i was reving the car and what not, and saw black smoke ( thank god it wasnt white ) So, then I found the culprit and tightened it up. Now it missed fired. I drove it home and found One foul plug. I know Plan on getting some new NGK's Tommorrow. I have a few questions
1. Is .030 a good gap for turbo'd car plugs?
2. Missfiring, does it run on one less cylinder or does the foul plug fire, but not as strong?
3. Do I just buy regular NGKS (Iradium/Platnum) and gap them, Or is there a specific "colder" plug that I need to buy?
I didnt even know there was cold plugs and hot plugs.
Sorry for the headache guys
Thanks

Nope. Searched to find a recommendation for plug gap, came across this thread during said search, noticed a post claiming NGKs come pre-gapped (supposed to, anyway), noticed mine were not only gapped too large for our needs as they came, but the gap was inconsistant. I then proceeded to post my findings on the interweb for the good of the community.
Didn't think it'd be that big of a deal..
