Haveing a problem with the engine wanting to "cut out" from time to time. It mainly does it at crusing speed, 50-60mph. The check engine light comes on, it seems like regular intrivals, with the engine miss following. Sometimes a bad miss, sometimes hardly noticable. Checked the code and its showing o2 sensor lean, and thier was one for the injectors. I've replaced the o2 sensor, fuel filter,and had some used injectors i put in it. Is thier something i'm missing? I'm not getting any codes on anything else. Thought maybe a leaky inj. showing that the engine is running rich and in turn the ecm leans it down too much. But with diffrent injectors, not sure thats the problem."


Ok, its fixed. It was lint covering the electrode in the mass air sensor. Scraped it off and its good to go.
