Default real quick....

I'm at the smog place waiting to get retested....
Last time I failed cuz of ma hfc and some of the monitors wernnt showing or not available...
I switched back to my stock cat and got a new maf...and the cel was gone...
Now I just scanned it and it still gives me system lean too bank..same code but with no cel?
Any ideas what it can be or any input on this...
Gracias...

system too lean can be a lot of problems. i'd do a seafoam on the vacuum system and clean the 02 sensors with MAF cleaner. i've never seen one fix for a system lean or rich code. did you pass?

it just gets the carbon off the sensor. it was taught to me by a guy who's been wrenching for 30 years lol. i had a system rich code a while ago and those are the things i did. i guess seafoam the gas tank too.

If you tapped the gauge into the intake port closest to the cabin, then that may be it. Thats your fuel pressure regulator.
