ok I finnaly fixed my car today. It has been 2 months since i last had it running. It was almost stolen then imponded by insurance then they thought i tried to steal it so they tried to sue me. Then i got it back and it got broken into agien. but i finnaly got it back together today. i started it up and took it for a test drive. It ran fine for a while then started to sputter. so i figured it was the spark plug wires becouse they were old and used since my accels were stolen by the thiefs. so i got a new set still missed checked firing order several times but i had them in the right order so then i figured maybe it was the gas since it sat for so long. put some injector cleaner then fuel stabelizer but nothing so then i filled my tank with super. No help. at a last ditch efort i replaced my plugs and holy sheep **** it worked. but there was still a slight sputter. I foolishly ignored it. But its back the miss is back. What is cousing my plugs to go bad. the tips are a crystalized white and i know its getting way to hot in there. Any ideas

Oil getting past the turbo seals/oil in the intake track. It is not a good thing!!

I think you need to move somewhere else. Your car is getting stolen too much, that is the problem. Where the heck do you live? I'll make sure never to drive there. Take your car to a Honda dealer for specific drivability concerns, we can tell you some stuff to check, but it can only do so much when we can't see the car.

Excessively white spark plug electrodes indicate a lean mixture. Tan is a good mixture. Your car could be experiencing a lean misfire. Check everything related to fuel delivery.

blow by is when your rings are shot, or the end gaps on the rings are lined up causing oil to get into the combustion chamber, but i dont believe that is your problem since your plugs are white (excessivly lean mixture) if you had blow by your plugs would be saturated in oil. many things can leed to sputtering, cloged injections, timing, fuel, distributor, ect. i would check all your fluids, make sure timing is correct and start narrowing down the problem.
