Re: Am I burning lean or REALLY lean?

Your plugs don't look fouled out or anything, and they aren't covered in oil residue either.

Copper plugs don't last forever either though. You might have a weak coil(stock Evo coils suck) or bad plug wire, if it will only fire smoothly with perfectly new plugs. Or your ignition timing in the tune could be too far off.

A lot of people confuse the smell of a car idling/running lean with that of a rich car. Lean smells very noxious. Really rich and gas will be coming out the exhaust pipe, but it will smell like raw gas and your plugs will usually be dripping wet.
