Default Re: Heat-related misfire issue (P0300, P0302, P0305, etc)... need help!!

The new Iridium plugs are gapped at .36... OEM plugs are .40

**EDIT*

I'll double-check the RCM... I drove the car to work, so I'll check the RCM on my lunch break if I can get out of the office.

So the RCM would cause misfires? Learn something every day!
Dude, my RCM has given me specific misfire's, random misfire, both... No start. Start then die. Start, run, get hot, die. Start, run, get hot, misfire. I thoroughly cleaned my relay's with tech alcohol, and added solder to every single spot I could, and haven't had an issue since. (knock on wood)

I just have a hard time seeing plugs as the problem. It's completely possible I guess, just seems unlikely.
