RE: Spark plug gap
Well, Did numerous research on the web about the subject of spark plug gap, and the experts agree that the best gap to run, is the biggest one possible that your coils can afford to jump. On my 2000 D2, the plug gap is suppose to be between .038 and .042 I got less estrictive wires on there, so I set my gap at .045 someD2 ownersrun their gaps at .050. As long as the spark can jump it!!!!
This results in apparently better performance and fuel economy, because the fuel is completely burned. Dr.Jacobs is one such expert, and has pretty good write-ups on the subject.

I just had a Magnecor boot pull apart, I can't say I'm impressed.

If the dealer won't take care of them then go to the person you bought them from, they have a lifetime warranty.
