So no one said the first thing you should check for is a vacuum leak with that code?Thats the first thing i would look for is a vacuum that would set a lean code for sure.

Never use starting fluid its highly flamable and you could catch yourself on fire.Use carb spray and spraying around the wires isnt going to tell you anything.Spray around all the vacuum lines intake gasket etc if the idle goes up down or stumbles or dies you found a leak.The best way to look for a leak that will even find the small leak is to use a scan tool that shows engine live data.Watch the fuel trims while your spraying if they spike you found a leak.Also a smoke test could find a leak.

Alright have you checked the actual fuel pressure?Also are you talking about the new code is a o2 sensor code?If so what is the exact code number you have?That would be the o2 sensor in the exhaust manifold.Inspect the harness going to the o2 sensor.Also i have cars with the P0171 codes that took a smoke test to find the vacuum leak they replaced everything and finally found the vacuum leak with a smoke test.Just a thought.

Some people make there own smoke machines you can see them on you tube.The evap ones they sell that are made for that and for finding evap codes start about 700.You can always make your own smoke machine iam working on making one myself.You can also watch people doing smoke tests on you tube so you can get a idea of what iam talking about.Let me know what codes you have when you get it scanned.
