Yes. It happened to me when I used the wrong spark plugs on my celica. If you're using the correct spark plugs and its still running lean it could be an in take leak, faulty maf sensor, dirty fuel filter or injectors.

Why would the spark plugs on a 350 Chevy engine be glowing every time the cylinder fires when the engine is running and how can the problem be fixed?
Replace the spark plug wires. Also, be on the lookout for something that could cause a lean condition such as vacuum leaks and fuel flow restrictions.
What is system to lean?
are you having a check engine light stating "engine too lean?" if so replace all o2 sensors.change spark plugs and especially air filter.rest code and see what happens.
Why is my 2000 Chevy venture check engine light blinking?
When the engine is not firing on all cyclinders or has bad spark or lean or rich fuel it will cause the light to flash. Mine did this and I had a loss of power. I replaced the spark plugs and wires. It stopped the light and I got my power back as well as got more mpg.
How do you change rear 3 spark plugs on 1999 Grand voyager 33 L?
to change the plugs, remove the air filter element - lean over engine to back and unscrew plugs and replace same with new ones
How can you tell if an engine is running lean or rich?
Too rich and you will get black smoke from exhaust. You can also read the spark plugs. way too rich and the engine will bog down or flood out in extreme situations. If it's running too lean, the rpms will get erratic.
What will cause running lean code on 99 voltswagen jetta 2 liter engine already replaced both O2 sensors mass air flow sensor spark plugs fuel filter Vac hoses whats left to look at?
Change your gas cap.
How do you check if your injectors are clogged?
A good way of checking how your car is running is by checking the spark plugs, If the injectors on a petrol engine are clogged then the engine will be running extra lean. The spark plug may look like the secomnd example on this sit http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/tech_support/spark_plugs/faqs/faqread.asp
Black soot on spark plugs 1979 blazer 350?
either its running to lean or you have a bad exhaust valuve
What would cause a spark plug electrode to burn?
Running too lean
Will not rejetting the carbohydrates on a Honda vt600 after installing aftermarket exhaust cause the spark plugs to foul?
An engine needs 13 parts air to one part fuel to run at peak efficiency. If there is too much air, the engine will run hot (lean condition). If there is too much fuel the engine will run cooler (rich condition), but not consume all the fuel, sending it out the exhaust. By adding aftermarket exhaust, you are allowing the engine to breathe better and get air more readily. Re-jetting the carbs with bigger needles will allow more fuel into the combustion chamber to offset the increase in air. More air + more fuel = more power. Not re-jetting will cause an excessively lean condition (too much air), which will cause the engine to run hotter (if it will run at all). You run the risk of burning valves which is very bad. This is the opposite of fouling spark plugs, which happens when the engine is too rich.
Why did spark plugs turn orange color on 1999 ford F150 truck?
sounds like the motor is running lean, not enough fuel.
Will using a NGK iridium spark plug in a 2002 Yamaha blaster stock 200cc engine cause more heat in the cylinder versus using a stock plug?
Spark Plugs versus "heat in the cylinder"While the NKG MAY result in a very SLIGHTLY higher spark temperature, it WILL NOT cause the fuel combustion temperature to increase.This is because the combustion temperature of any fuel is a result of the fuel and air mixture ratio, which spark plugs do not affect.I went to blaster forum and most people said it wasn't a spark plug problem. I just installed new intake & exhaust gaskets. I should have re-jetted the carb. More than likely I was running too lean after gaskets. Now I can rebuild motor.
