Are these plugs bad?
I pulled these a week ago. They have under 5K miles on them. I'm not sure if I should replace them. The car is misfiring and hesitating... Anyone know???

1) Time to learn how to use Macro mode on your camera...
2) Those look just fine color-wise from what I can see.... However, if there is internal damage to the plug, you cannot tell by just looking at it.
If you're misfiring, you should have a check engine light that will store a code in the computer to tell you what's malfunctioning. Try to get ahold of a code reader, or go to AutoZone and have them read it for you to see what's going on.

Yes, it has run correct. After i got it back from precision R, the CEL would come on for a day or two. Then go away. Every week or so since then, the CEL goes away and the motor pulls hard and idles perfect. Then it'll misfire when i start the car, especially in the morning and the CEL comes back. I installed a new MAP sensor yesterday but that didnt fix it. Next im not sure what to do. I was thinking of running the fuel additive that honda sells for $30...

How do i check for the ground? I am really hesitant to go back to honda. The last time i went they charged me $80 to tell me that they couldnt tell me anything because of my test pipe. They wanted to charge me $1800 for a new cat and sensors...
