Gapping Spark Plugs
Well - was bored this afternoon so I decided to pull my plugs and have a look at them. They are getting a little dark but not too bad. I decided to check the gap and they seemed a little tight.
Well after regapping the car runs noticable smoother now - a nice suprise I must say.
