be sure you use NGK spark plugs or you'll be sorry

StraussAuto mentioned .044 ? I installed NGK from them out of the box and the car is "stumbling" and "hesitating" on acceleration. I have pull them and gap to cure this ? Nissan dealer is asking $ 11.00 per spark plug. Is it only because their NGKs are pre-gapped ??

The correct NGK's bought anywhere come pre-gapped. I stopped checking them

Well they come with a gap, but not all applications use the same gap.

I've also had a few plugs where the electrode looked like it was dropped and had closed up.

But its all right, you dont have to check YOURS anymore. (-:
