Default H22 running lean? Picture of spark plug.

So I've been having problems with my car idleing, cleaned iacv and fitv, no help, and also the engine won't rev past 6500 and will cut out, and sometimes misfires. I want to know if this picture looks like I'm running lean to u guys. These are what the plugs look like at both WOT and idle, both times they look like this.Thanks for any help.

the plugs will always look lean if all you did was idle on them. it does look all that bad but it's really hard to tell.

are you getting any engine codes?

only cels are egr and (20) eld. My idle surges from about 1000-500, but it's fine when I'm moving it idles at about 1100. Maybe the timing is off? I've never checked the timing yet on my h22. Anymore help would be great. Thanks.

I'd start off by trying to find out why it wont go past 6500... it should be shooting a code when you try.

It doesn't give me a code and that's the sad thing. .. I got a movie I can post if u wanna offer some help. I have the cel for the egr on and I try to rev anywhere past 6300-6800 and it will cut out like the spark cuts out or it's lean cause there's no backfire, then it revs back down, just won't ever rev to redline now. Also, when this happens and I try to romp on it I shift to the next gear and Vtec won't engage in that gear but then if I shift into the next gear Vtec will engage, it's like I gotta give it 10 seconds to come back on, it's weird, no cels or nothing though. Using a p13, worked fine for 2 weeks and now these problems came up.
