1st what would be the right gap for ngk-r plugs on a fully built ej25 running 14psi with a haltech

i was told 24 but just want to make sure


and heres the special question

i couldnt start my car what i think was due to some bone heads not knowing how to start her and fouled the crap out of my plugs

any way i know the car was cranked more than a few times in a poor attempt to get her started anyway i sit in the car to get an idea what is wrong

put the keys in the ignition turned the car to on but not to the 4th position to actually make her turn over and BANG she backfired... ive never seen a car do this while not actually running

so what could have happened here any ideas???

any advice would be very greatful
im replacing the plugs tomorrow
and hoping that nothing else is wrong

my girlfriends brother(who is a big time muscle car mechanic) said id better check my timing belt because if the car back fired then the valve had to have been open... does this make sense to anyone else

nobody anybody?

 

iregato (sp)

anyway
could it have been fuel blown by into the exhasut(no cat) when they cranked it over and over
and when the key was turned it set it off?

and does 24 sound like the right gap?
