Okay, now, I recently pulled out my plugs again, and they are definately whitish... Now, am I to believe that means a lean condition? And if so, what could be causing that? I know that there aren't any fuel filters on the 6th gen accords, at least that is what I've always been told.
If it is an indication of a slightly lean mixture, any suggestions on how to get more fuel into it? Or is it mainly an ecu issue that controls the amount of fuel going into the system... (Because they all have a whitish coat to them)
Also, could it simply be caused by hard driving(WOT too often?)

Fig 2. White deposits due to excessive amount of oil or low quality oil in the combustion chamber.
I need to replace the three rear plugs on the back part of the engine compartment, looks like a pain in the ass.
