.06 spark plugs

Bought some Autolite iridium plugs, put them in my 01, then while reading the manual the plugs need to be gapped to .04. Should I bother? Engine light went afterwards, but car runs smoothly. Can't get the engine light code till Tuesday, after the holiday.

Re: .06 spark plugs

you should only use ngk or denso plugs in a honda, and only at 0.044 gap setting. it does matter. if the engine light came on, that should tell you right there you have a problem.
