I have been trying to diagnose whats going on w/ my car, for about a month now, since I had a coilpack fail on me... I dont have a bunch of knowledgeable friends to help out, so Im stuck tryin to come up w/ somethin on my own, sourcing it out on the forum....

I swapped the bad coilpack, out for a new'er one, threw some new plugs in, gapped them to .023, and have noticed quite a bit of pwer loss... ~ 20tq, and ~ 20 - 30whp... (confirmed w/ older logs) If I remember correctly, the others were gapped @ .022, but not positive, and could have been gapped to .020... Could this be the culprit of the power loss???
Is .023 a lil too much? I was under the impression that anywhere between .020 - .024is fine. Should I try setting it back to .020 or is this a waste of time? Im gonna try and find my old ones and see where the gap is set at... I dont know where my power has gone.... Boost leak test is next on the list...

I didnt really ever log coolant/air temp, or any temps, but am noticing that my coolant temp is a bit high, as well as the air temp (as far as I know)... Last log, air temp was 107.6 and coolant was if I remember correctly was 202. Does this seem high to anyone...

I was running 44* @ cruise, and since seeing the logs, lowered it back down to 40* hoping that this will help keep temps down...

I think I might have a boost leak, but not sure... Gonna work on getting that done asap. I did have 1 done in Jan...

TIA as always

 

..023 is as tight as i would ever go..

 

i ran a .020 gap when I was on e85. only way i could run 30psi on stock coils
