You shouldn't need to up fuel pressure, thats not going to solve your problem. You need to fix whatever is wrong with your pile.

there are a lot of things that could make it run lean. MAF, O2, and pretty much any other sensor on the induction side of it. also is it a single bank running lean or entire engine.

does it give you a actual code number? it will be like P1131 for example if not taking it to auto zone to get it read and have them get you the actual code. this will help narrow down the problem.
