Actually .044 is the end of the gap range. When installing new plugs they should be .038 (or is it .039), the only plugs that I know of that have .038 without regapping is the original NGK's from www.courtesynissan.com.

to install new plugs that are at .044 is a . Over time the gap will increase and the engine will miss fire even more.

I'm currently using Autolites, and I had to regap them. Most autoparts stores do tell you to regap them, thats cause they're idiots.
