Default CEL P1106 P1101 Questions

Ok so I have used the search function and read up on these codes, I know they indicate a lean condition but I am looking for someone who has had these same conditions that cause it and possibly any help. I get both the P1101 and P1106 codes only when I am driving up steep hills most of the time in the mountains. Every time the codes throw the engine is hot and the weather is above 80. I then have to wait overnight and reset the code the next day and it goes away. If I try to reset it right after it happens, it comes back literally 5 seconds later. The only problem is I have gone entire weekends driving the mountains without it throwing. I have nearly a full tank of gas when this happens. My dad has a 1997 Cabriolet, with the same 2.8L engine and the same thing happens to him. The first time this happened I had just gotten new 02 sensors 3 months previously. I thought they might be have been a little loose so I tightened them in their bungs but it didnt make a difference. Any insight on this subject is much appreciated, sorry for the long post but I wanted to give as much helpful information as possible.

Hmmm maybe, should I just spray some carb cleaner in it? I know they are pretty fragile so taking it out is a operation

Fuel pumps hardly ever fail with these cars, but THIS might be worth a read.

My initial instinct says MAF, though. Don't use carb cleaner on it, use electronics or maf specific cleaner.
