Default Too lean??? Help??

My car threw a code and it said it's to lean on bank one and two anyway to fix without using a tuner or going to a shop? Will it damage anything driving for a couple days? And I just put a cold air on my car yesterday

I get the same thing even with a tune. Working to resolve with a new tune adjustment.

your CAI running with the stock tune is taking in too much air. causing a lean condition. you need to get a tune that works with your CAI.

No adjustments can be made without a tuner, to eliminate this problem.

I had a BBK CAI on mine and it would give me a CEL anytime above 3000 rpm.
I took it off until or if I decide to get a tune. The fuel mixture is completely
controlled by the computer, no manual adjustments.
