Default Service Engine Light

exciting huh..? Two weeks ago my Service Engine Soon light came on, so i took it in to have the shop check it out. The computer gave a lean code. They said they wouldn't worry about it and cleared it. I drove the car to myrtle and back, all told about 1500 miles. The light came back on tonight. Any ideas on what to do about this. I've checked around to make sure there are no noticable leaks in the intake tract, but I cant find any.

Thanks

Probably a bad O2 sensor. What was the code exactly?

Did you just have a lot of work done? I just had stuff installed literally YESTERDAY, and my service engine light came on tonight. Look at the mods I've done below.. any recommendations? Going to auto zone tomorrow morning to have them check it out and see what code it gives.

Did you get MIL eliminators with that o/r X?

Yep, guy told me to take them back as he'd just tune it out. I think he did but sometimes you can trip the sensor anyway. The guy at autozone who has a stang says he has trouble even with his.

Sounds like you have a bad O2 Ouz.

As for Guarnibl, sounds like the guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Looks like you should invest in a set of MIL's.
