you can tell alot thru a spark plug, right ?

yeah. VTEC is kinda like boost. you'll get better mileage if you stay out of it. lol.

yeah, i'm afraid if i dont use it, it won't be there when i need it haha. I'll try a tank not getting in VTEC and see the difference it makes.

dag......300+miles of not hitting VTEC.......i SERIOUSLY doubt you'll be able to do that homie. someone WILL run up on you and you'll want to run them. lol

That's like driving with a disabled motor, not reving past 5k ! *shudders*

LOL, when I want the best mileage, I try to keep it under 4900->where the IAB's open and extra fuel is injected. Want really good mileage though, shift at 3000 and keep highway speeds under 75.

It does look like an oil soaked plug though....likely a valve seal.

Is it on all the spark plugs? And does it look to bad? I do think I'm do for a head rebuilt. Which I do have a spare at home

I always try to tell myself to stay out of VTEC so I can observe the difference it makes in mpg, but I always fail; it's just so hard not to hit VTEC!

I'll be changing my plugs and wires this weekend hopefully, so I'm curious as to what my plugs will look like...
As they say, "expect the worst and hope for the best!"
