Lean codes can be caused by vacuum leaks , secondary air injection faults and exhaust manifold leaks.

Lean limit suggests that you have some oxygen (air) getting into the system and the pre-cat O2 is trying to compensate and it is running into the limit because the O2 is coming from the atmosphere and not from the combustion process.

That is where I would start.

It would appear that HUALE768 is an even smarter spam bot that is now combining posts in a thread to be harder to spot. Amazing what hackers can come up with.

Thank you for your replies! I'm going to try and clean out the MAF sensor this week and cheek the fuel relays as you suggested.
