Help! Got a CEL...
I got a CEL tonight right when I turned on my car. I think it was P0170. I looked it up and it said "Engine running lean". Should I just clear the code and see if it comes back or is this something I should worry about and not drive the car until I have everything squared away?

did you change anything recently. Bad gas or change the place you get gas.
also check for any vacuum leaks after the maf.
if im not mistaken that code would be thrown if the ecu excedes the percentage that it can compensate to make the afrs hit its target of 14.7 during closed loop operation.
you dont have an intake without a protune?

The code specifically said engine running lean and that's it. I am running 93 gas, usually from Shell only. The mods I have are TBE, CAI, and AP Stage 2. I have had all these mods for over 20k with no issues. And I have nothing new on the car.

Oh, and I cleared the code and drove it to work (about 11 miles round trip). Everything seems to be running fine and the CEL hasn't come back.
