Default So, I changed my plugs.....

I went from OEM plugs to some BKR7E-11s and gapped them down to .028. The car def. doesn't idle well with them, seems like it has some trouble igniting the mixture. Now, w/ oem plugs the car ran and idled great. So you think I should just re-gap these BKRs to say .032 or run my OEM plugs again? I am only running a max of 6.03psi according to hondata on my stock b18b. When I pulled the OEM plugs, they looked perfect.

When you drop heat ranges, the spark plug will not retain enough heat to burn off exccess fuel under idle, and will tend to foul more often then the standard heat range plug. Try leaning out your fuel table at idle more.
