I have been getting a check engine light,that started with the code of left bank running lean. I had changed the fuel filter a few thousand miles before,so I cleaned MAP sensor and reset the light. Soon I got another light indicating the samething so I changed the left upstream and downstream O2 sensors and reset the light. Soon got another light but the right bank was running lean. Changed the two sensor and reset the light. Soon gpt another light. Always get the light when pulling harder than usual or with more throttle.
Thanks for tour help.

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.
