Running lean
Changed my plugs today and the tips were white.. She's running lean... Any tips before I go crazy trying to solve this and spend more money than I need to?

Just drive it. If it's running good and there is no check engine light, leave it alone. The ECM adjusts the air/fuel mixture, there is nothing you can adjust to richen it up.

No. The computer will adjust the mixture even with different injectors. My plugs come out white, not a huge deal.

The only thing that you can do is make sure the MAP sensor is functioning, the O2 sensor is sweeping up and down, and the TPS is working. Those three sensors are the ones that dictate the fuel strategy the most.

Post a picture of the plug. White on the tip is fine, it's when the ring at the top of the threads (flat surface) or down the walls of where the porcelain is white it is lean. Or if it's melting
