I just pulled the plugs on my 99 and found out that the electrodes on them are grey, not a nice brown like they should be. The motor is stock, so I dont know why or how I could be running lean enough to get them as white as they were. Any Ideas?

Here is a pic of the #2 plug. I can take pics of all of them if it would help, but they all pretty much look like this:

 

yeah, they should be sort of a charcoal color...i wish i could run lean!! No clue though, i am trying to figure out how to run lean.

 

Why would you want to run lean? that's dangerous for the motor.

Do all of your plugs look the same or is it only cylinder #2 which looks different?

Get some sort of fuel management and get it dyno tuned, something like a VAFC, or if money allows it, Hondata.
