Slight Misfire on VR6

[shire38 10]

Hi Folks after a little advice, i have a very slight misfire on my VR6, I am going to start by changing ignition leads i bought some from GSF about 6 months ago and to be honest there not a good fit and difficullt to get them to clip onto sparkplug, anyway i have some Beru leads on the way ans also some NGK BKR5E plugs, what i don't know and cant seem to find on the forum is what the gap in these plugs should be. Any advice would be appreciated.

Looks like there is some info here:

* we recommend re-gapping for 'your' vehicle (.030 stock AAA) - I presume this is ment for the 2.8 VR6 (AAA) - but would guess the 2.9 ABV would be the same ?.

if you don't get results with new leads , look at the maf sensor next, swapping it over with a friends will be the quickest way to check it...

I use the lead removal tool to push the leads back onto the plugs. Makes it a bit easier.
