Is this plug telling me that I'm running too lean?

Looks normal to me. I think it's saying "Put me back in the car".

I don't know if it is too lean, but it sure as hell isn't rich. I think it should be more brown than white.

I'll be fixing it thanks to echocanyons who helped me out with a MAF (with a spare to boot!) Thanks again EC. At least I'm not running rich anymore.

First thing I said when I saw that was 'oh shit, thats one lean plug'

That plug is saying "get me the hell out of that thing!"

The color is very light, I like mine to be about the color of coffee with cream

exactly, should be the color of a coffee drinker's teeth.

kinda like off white or tan or maybe even a light brown...

time to get your crayons out for color matching.

I personally like my spark plug color to be the color "Maccaroni and Cheese" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

As long as I am making huge power and the A/F meter says I'm good. I haven't pulled a plug for awhile. Now that we are getting into the HOT season I might check plugs against meter.

Get your teeth cleaned in my office and they'll be way too lean. Detonation is a pain.

BTDT, even did BriteSmile and I thought "the pain isnt *THAT* bad, i'll just sit through it some more, more time equals brighter..."

dull pain turned into sharp pains, which translated into severe sensitivity (to everything..literally) for a couple of days...

I forgot what I took but I woke up 14 hours later....it was strong, because it was a huge pill. Green.

I unfortunately also bite my fingernails which wore down the enamel on my lower two front teeth....the sensitive toothpaste doesnt quite cut the sensitivity down either. I heard of this thing for coating the exposed areas with this ceramic paint or something, if you know anything about this PM me.

Sorry for hijacking the thread BTW.
