Changed my spark plugs yesterday and ever since, my s13 KA dual cam has been sputtering. Checked everything and it all seemed fine, gapped correctly and seated. Drove my car to and back from school and it didn't change. It only sputters during idle. Help please :smash:

Pull one wire at a time with the car running you might have a bad plug out of the box it's happened to me once

no they're correct =[ it sounds a lot better tho now that it's at a .64 gap but it's suppose to be at .044 =/ i think previous owner might have screwed them in too tight cuz it took some effort to take out
