I'm having a lean problem as well. It's driving me crazy.

I came across something in my search about a problem with the cat could cause problems running lean. As far as I know, I have the original one at 209,xxx miles. I dunno...

Oh, I missed that you're catless in your post.

One of the things I'll be checking is the voltage to the MAF and fuel pump based on what I've been reading.

Not sure. Check the FSM if you can but I've been reading this thread and here's what one guy said...

zer...power

"I checked battery voltage and ground straps on engine bay.Finally i decided to check voltage at fuel pump,it was low 12v.I went to auto part purchased 12 gauge wire bosch relay and connectors and a switch,I just finished wiring it up with switch on ground side of relay ,damn this thing starts right up now and voltage now at pump is 14+.also switch will completely disable pump ,added piece of mind.also no more pump whinning noise.one of the most over looked things to check is fuel pump voltage.check yours .hope this helps"

thanks i will check the voltage. also i was checking ans my bov has a pressure leak at idle, i pinched the vaccuum line so it would close fully and it said even leaner on the wideband..... :/
