You have a lean mixture. The following is a list of possible solutions:

� Clean the MAF sensor.
� Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace/repair as required
� Inspect all hoses and connections in the air intake system
� Inspect and/or test the intake manifold gaskets for leakage
� Check for a dirty fuel filter and proper fuel pressure
� Ideally you'll want to monitor short and long term fuel trims using an advanced scan tool
