it usually means both o2 sensors are no longer good. have you checked them out with a dvom?

That does not mean your O2's are bad, IT MEANS THE CAR IS LEAN!!! just what it says. I would check for vacuum leaks, check the pcv tubes hoses and the T on the back side of the engine on the drivers side, I would also clean the Mass air flow sensor with a que-tip and brake clean.

Actually I found that windex works better then break kleen, but start with clening that. How's your air fillter?
