just a thought, but did you happen to fill up your last tank of gas with a different (higher or lower) octane? could be faulty plugs, too.

It's not like your B7 is making an asston of power, and you probably weren't at WOT at high RPM when it was running lean, if you were even running lean at all. You may have a bad fuel pump, it's been known to happen on older Hondas... especially Accords, but it happens to Civics too. I would suggest to buy the fuel pressure tester (unless your friend lets you borrow it), go to a junk yard and pull a stock FPR off any B or D series Honda engine from 88-00 and put it on your car to see what's going on.
