Default White spark plugs, no lean code, pinging

Hey all. 2003 mazda protege5 running lean. No codes. White plugs. Confused af.

Checked fuel pressure. 35 psi at idle, 45 psi with FPR vacuum line disconnected, system holds 30 psi when key shut off.

Tps reads .6 volts with throttle closed and up to 4.5 volts WOT, smooth transition with no dropouts

MAF signal at 2.2 volts at idle goes up to 3 volts at about 4000 rpm

Intake Manifold Vacuum tested holding steady at 20 in-HG Suggesting no vacuum or manifold gasket leaks


Any tips? Stumped.





Any suggestions from here.

I think based off of spark plug inspection. OP, please post pic of plugs.
