Default Wrong Gap?

CAN THE WRONG SPARK PLUG GAP CAUSE CODE P0327 TO SET IN THE DIC. I READ IN THE MANUAL THE THE GAP WAS SOPOSED TO BE .060, AND THE PLUGS THAT I BOUGHT WERE PREGAPPED AT.060. BUT THE OLD PLUGS WERE .035 WITH NO CODES SETTTING, I AM GOING TO REGAP NEW PLUGS TO .040, BUT HAVE TO WAIT A FEW DAYS DUE TO WORK. dOES MANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

I suppose a bad misfire could cause the P0327 (knock sensor). As far as the gap, it depends on the plug you are using.

Put in some plugs once with a smaller gap (for N2O) and it never ran right, only code it ever threw was a misfire once in about 100 miles.
It backfired like crazy under certain acceleration conditions when warm, put some properly gapped plugs in and no worries and no codes!
