I changed out the spark plugs in my 1992 Honda Accord with identical new plugs. The plugs should have been correctly gapped per the setting under the hood, although this is the first time I've gapped plugs so they may be off. I didn't check the gap on the old ones I took out.
Since replacing the plugs the first start of the morning has always been rougher than usual. The car cranks longer before it catches, and then it stumbles for a second or two before it smooths out into fast idle. Previously the car might take a bit longer to catch but it would always start right up without any stumble. The rest of the times I start the car during the day it starts right up as I would expect.
The problem first manifested itself the morning after changing out the plugs, so I think it is most definitely related. Is this problem symptomatic of improperly gapped plugs?
