Question Front housing Spark Plugs white (running lean) But Why ???

I removed my plugs to inspect them as I did an oil change today and noticed that the two on the front have a whitish color. What could be the cause of this. I just inspected them about 4 months ago and everything looked fine...nice brownish color. What part of the Fuel system could be causing this...Fuel Filter, Fuel Pump, or Injectors?? I have been running 11-12 psi. max with a mild Street Port, Intake, DP, CB, NGK 9's Platinum and G-Force Unlimited ECU which is set up for my mods. plus an additional MP and IC which I don't have yet. I have been running this setup for nearly a year and my plugs have never showed any sign of running Lean until now. My car is a '93 Touring with a rebuilt w/17k miles and 103k miles on the Odo. Fuel filter changed when engine installed. Any info. on this is Appreciated

Maybe you have an injector that is clogged slightly.

Aside from getting New injectors....Any fuel injector cleaner that might work?? If I even have 1 bad injector, it's time for 4 Brand new ones and at least 5 Bills.

You could just send yours to RC and have them cleaned and blueprinted instead of buying all new.

the redline injector cleaner - S1 or whatever its called, is supposedly some good stuff. Brain at M2 uses it in the race car and street car to keep the injectors clean. Do you premix any?
