Dear Rasmataz, These codes are after I reset the computer and drove it. As soon as I got it on the freeway the check engine light came on. The LT and St Fuel
trim are at 0 and I get P1131 and PO171. What have I missed?

Lean fuel condition could be caused by one of the following below:

1.Vacuum leaks
2.EGR and PCV valve.
3.Low fuel pressure.
4.Dirty fuel injectors.
5.Mass Air Flow Sensor.
6.Oxygen Sensor.
