engine running too lean?
Hey, got my code scanned for my Cat problem, guy said engine was running too lean. I know this means too much oxygen, but could this code be misread by the 02 sensor because of the higherflow downpipe and cat I have?

lean/rich codes would be set by the pre cat 02
with a vacuum leak i'd expect poor throttle response, high idle or rough idle, lack of power.
the bad news.... lean code could possibly be caused by the modified maf, and theres nothing else wrong.

one other possibility would be that theres an exhaust leak between the cat an manifold. i dont recall where the 02 is off hand, but even if its in the manifold, exhust pulses could draw air up to the 02 and set the code.
just one more thing to worry about :P

you disconnect the hose at the brake power booster and run the hose from the smoke detector into the hose from the booseter to the intake manifold. if you do use this method, you will see some smoke coming from the air filter housing. anywhere else is a vacuum leak. i also forgot to let you know that any exhaust leak will cause a lean condition as well, as said above.
