running lean according to plugs... will retarding timing help?
95 couple ex with JDM b18c
All ITR valvetrain, cams, and intake mani.
Stock p28 obd1.
It's my understanding that the ECU would richen up the mixture if it sees that it's running lean. All four of the plugs are pretty white, with no brown at all.
This is my daily, and within a month or so, I can get a couple of dyno pulls and an adj. fpr to help it out. Till then, I need a free solution if there is such a thing. A few buddys told me to retatd the timing.
Good or bad?
Woulud anything else help??
