A lean mixture is usually caused by a vacuum leak. Have you checked that? Also, with the scanner attached, the O2 sensor should move between.35 and.55 volts. If it is out of range, replace it.

Let me know what you find.

Thanks to boatbuddy and jacob for your reply's. I have some medical problems right now, but as soon as I can I will check what you have suggested. I purchased a OBD11 can reader am dissapointed in what it does'nt tell you. Very missleading, I don't have alot of money to spend. Thanks again Mark

Mark:
When you are feeling better, let us know what you find. The scanner will help regardless. We'll help you figure it out.
