Just replaced my plugs.

I replaced the plugs this weekend. These are the stock plugs 38k miles and the gaps were crazy. .033, .022, .028. .029. I don't understand why none of them matched up. You all may want to check yours. Setting the new ones all the same sure seems to have aided in idle.

You physically must bend the electrode up or down to increase or decrease the gap. Don't buy those "round" disks (cheap) tools as they are very inaccurate. Purchase from Sears or some other tool manufacturer and they should have the type of tool that has wires of various thicknesses along with a tool specially made to increase or decrease the gap.
