I still can't pass DEQ. I think it might be the plugs. They look pretty good, but the gap seems a bit large. What should it be?

Thanks,
Joey

EDIT: (max/tested) I am failing my hydrocarbons (1.2/3.98) and my Nitrogen Oxide (3.00/3.53) I hat my catalytic converter tested, and i watched them test it. there is a 94ยบ difference pre cat/post cat, so it is working. Another shop told me there was no difference, but thats why i got a second test. Liars.  
    I was also considering using DEQ pass. Supposidly it burns real clean, and will make you pass DEQ, nyone used it before?

Thanks. I got new NGK V-powers all set up. Still failed deq though. Barely. So I got the injesctor cleanor/DEQ pass. I lowers your emmisions, and cleans up the fuel system. This time it was (1.7/1.2) and (3.7/3.0). So I am almost there.

EDIT: I also realized that the gap is in the owner's manual. It should be 1.0-1.1, which is .39-.44 in inches.
