The only thing you can adjust is spark plug gap. the others are computer controlled. the gap can be found on the emission sticker, located in the engine compartment on the underside of the hood or on the fan shroud. possibly on the shock mount tower.

    change plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, check for vacuum leaks. the coil or ingition modual might be failing. egr valve or passages dirty. check fuel pressure, change gas and air filter.

    Does the differing brands and quality of spark plug change the gap measurement to be used?

I recently replaced the spark plugs on my 2001 toyota tacoma and now the engine idles high. no vacuum leaks, and nothing else was adjusted. could it be the spark plug gap?

NO ENGINE TOLD AT ALL OR VIN OR COUNTRY.
3 ENGINES USED. 2.4, 2.7 AND 3.4v6

FIRST OFF LEARN THIS FACT
THE MACHINES AT NGK SET ALL PLUGS TO
0.045" NEVER TO 0.45 ( i CAN THROW A HAT THROUGH THAT CRAZY WIDE GAP)
SURE YOU MISSED A KEY ZERO.
SURE.
AND EACH MAKER PLUG USES THERE OWN DEFAULT STANDARD MACHINE GAP . (FACTORY)
NOBODY MAKES A SPARK PLUG FRONT 100,000 ENGINES. NOBODY. THEY ARE BY HEAT RANGE AND SIZE.
THAT MEANS SET THE GAP TO OEM TOY SPEC.
NGK CATALOG ONLINE EVEN TELLS THAT SPEC.

IDLES HIGH COLD OR HOT ENGINE OR BOTH
NOT TOLD AND IS A KEY FACT NOT TOLD.
THE SPEC IS
IN THE SM

Adjust the spark plug electrode gap. Electrode gap for new spark plug is 1.0 to 1.1 mm (0.039 to 0.043 in.).
BEST IS 1MM SET, AND THAT LOWER SETTING

NO PLUGS TOLD
THE OEM TYPE CALLED J PLUGS ARE SET PER ABOVE
BUT SOME ODD DUCK BOSCH SURFACE FIRE

Bosch R 10 spark plug gap?

You really need to look up the answer from your vehicle manufacturer.
Average gap for most vehicles is 35 to 45 thousands of an inch or .8 to .9mm Your spec may be different.It.s the application that specs the gap,not just the plug number.
ALWAYS use anti-seize on spark plug threads going into aluminum heads!

My car has been idling low. i have changed the plugs.

Usually when you change the plugs that you also should change the distributor cap and rotor as well. When you changed the plugs with hopefully with the Alero specifications type manufacturer spark plugs that you have to also change the timing belt too is why your idling is low. All spark plugs have a gap in them so your car special plugs should too. You might have the wrong spark plugs with the wrong gap in them so you can ask autozone for the gap specs for your year, make and model plus you can buy the right spark plugs there too. The spark gap will change the timing of car depends on the gap.
