  1. Thanks guys! gamellott -- I did have to replace the vacuum hose as it crumbled the second I touched it, hah! :-) There's nothing I need to do other than put a new hose back on right? I tried not to touch the plug wires much and didn't unplug them from the cap. SpecialWarr -- being how it was running smooth before the spark plug change, I have to assume it's the plugs or the wires. I guess I'll try gaping them all to a slightly larger size, maybe .45 and see how she runs. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to buy new wires and see if that helps.
  2. Hi guys, I just changed out the sparkplugs in my 95 pathfinder for no reason other than I knew it was about time (they're at least 15 yrs old). The Pathfinder was running great actually until I replaced the plugs. After that, it was idling a little more rough and hesitating most noticeably when not accelerating. So I took all the plugs back out and checked the gap which I hadn't done before because the guy at O'Rielly told me I shouldn't have to. I'm a novice but trying to be more handy; lesson learned :-). The new ones were all about 28 and my old ones were gaped at 61! From what I've read, they should be about 32 so I gapped them all at 32 and put them back. This helped the rough idle, but it still hesitates a bit (not as much) when cruising along. Given that the old plugs were gapped at 62, should I gap my new ones even more? Or is there something else that I should be focusing on now to make it run smooth again? Thanks!
