I think it is printed underneeth the hood (if stock). Try .40 utherwise this is just an educated guess.

And what plugs are you getting? If it's some cheapo brand, that might explain the weak pull. All thought all the good companies pre-gapped their plugs.

I'm pretty sure those plugs have more than one application. If not, I guess I'm wrong.

on most hondas its 1.0 +.1 or -.1

I'm sure those plugs do have more than one application. BUT, every good company, ngk, bosche, that I know of pre-gaps them. .44 might be what a few different cars use.

i was always told to just check the gaps on the plugs, and never try to actually re-gap them because you'll break the porcelin on the plugs
