Your 2000 ford windstar check engine light is on and the code reads running too lean - what does that mean?

Running lean basically means that your Air Fuel Ratio is off and there is more air than fuel, which creates a lean condition. It is called the "Stoichiometric" value. The correct ratio is 14.7 parts air to one part fuel. If you are running for instance a ratio of 16 to 1 then that is lean. Basically too much air when compared to optimal air fuel mix. A ratio of 12 to 1 is too rich. The problem with a lean condition is that the engine will run hot. Normal logic would suggest that with less fuel there would be less heat generated, but it is not the case. A lean condition will actually make the engine run hotter.
