Hi,
The code indicates a lean fuel mixture. That can be a few different issues. The first thing that needs done is to check fuel pump pressure. Here is a link that explains how it is done:

Now, if fuel pressure is within the manufacturer's specs, then we need to check for a vacuum leak which could be allowing unmetered air to enter the engine.

Also, I will need to know if you hear an exhaust leak near the engine.
Here are the manufacturer's specs as far as fuel pressure:
2004 Mazda Truck Tribute 4WD V6-3.0L DOHC
Pressure, Vacuum and Temperature
Vehicle Powertrain Management Fuel Delivery and Air Induction Fuel Pump Specifications Pressure, Vacuum and Temperature
PRESSURE, VACUUM AND TEMPERATURE
Fuel Pressure
Fuel Line Pressure Max .................... 380-482 kPa (55-70 psi)
Fuel Line Pressure Engine Running .................... 240-380 kPa (35-55 psi)
Pressure drop after 1 min. .................... Less than 5 psi
Do this and let me know what you find. I have a feeling it is fuel pressure related.
Take care,
Joe
