I have changed the AIC, Plugs, All O2 sensors, Mass air Flow sensor, Fuel filter, Cleaned several other parts. But I can't get this car to run or stay running at an idle. At first start the car runs and idles as it should. As it idles down it starts to run very rough. All the codes say lean on either bank i.E. P1151 and similar codes. They all point to a lean issue. What other directions should I check. I can get more codes for you if needed. Just cleared them today after trying some more things to correct this issue. Need to run car a bit to get them back.

Intake manifold and gasket leak
Very hard to locate and find and the use of a smoke is needed
Should have it smoke tested and suspect manifold gasket
You can list the codes as they become available and I will check them thru the data base I have
and tech bulletins

NOTE:This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin 97-21-13 dated October 13, 1997.

WARNING:This modification is authorized only for the listed engine. Performing this modification on other engine calibrations is unauthorized and could create liability under applicable federal or local laws.

ISSUE
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MiL) may illuminate on vehicles with a 4.6L or 5.4L engine, and one or more of the following concerns may be present:
MIL lamp on with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): P0133, P0135, P0141, P0153, P0155, P0161, P1130, P1131, P1132, P1137, P1138, P1150, P1151, P1152, P1157, P1158
Rough idle
Engine miss
Hesitation/Surge
Buck/Jerk
Stall at idle
Near stall
Stall at low speeds
This may be caused by the Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) monitor calibration not allowing enough time for proper monitoring.
ACTION
Reprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and replace the HEGO sensor(s). Refer to the following SERVICE PROCEDURE for details.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Perform normal diagnostics as outlined in the 1997 Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) On-Board Diagnostics II (OBD II) Service Manual and repair as required.
If the concern still exists or no problems were found, reprogram the PCM using Service Bay Diagnostic System (SDBS) or New Generation Star (NGS) Tester. Refer to the following RECALIBRATION CROSS REFERENCE CHART for correct PCM calibration.
Replace the HEGO sensor(s) (F88Z-9F472-AB) as required.
NOTE:For 5.4L applications, dealers must also perform TSB 97-26-17 to install the drain tube on the lower A/C evaporator drain.
