I recently changed the plugs, wires, rotor and dist. cap on my 86 900 8v. The car ran fine, but the maintenance was due, so I did these changes myself. Now the car idles rough until it warms up. I changed out the champion plugs with bosch platinums. I gapped them according the recommendation of the auto parts store (although I don't remember exactly what the measurement was). I'm wondering if I got the gap wrong - can someone tell me the proper gap for these plugs and my engine? Also, anything else I might have done to create this low-idle roughness when cold? Thanks.
