    Fuel system lean DTC

    I'm getting a fuel system lean trouble code on bank 1. Is this something that needs to be changed in the tune, fuel pressure, or on because of only having front o2's?

    Engine is a 2003 5.3 and pcm was tuned by nelson.

    Check for vac leaks, the right way with a smoke machine, that is only way to tell.
    Be sure the o2's are toggling up and down, 20mv to 900mv.
    Be sure fuel pressure is at least 50psi at idle.

    You may have a bad O2 sensor. I had the same codes, replaced the O2 sensor and it started reading again... don't get me started on O2 sensors

    Can use foaming glass cleaner that contains alcohol or carb cleaner spray to check for vacuum leaks also but don't set it on fire.

    The codes went away so unsure of what really is the problem. I'll keep a close eye to see if it does come up again.
