2000 exbedition has a very poor idle, i have goon though everything but the control valve although i do have a po171 and po174 and i am thinking the valve is causing the codes. the truck runs well otherwise. At times the truck will completely stall. am i on the right track to clean the valve?

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.
