install a cold air intake. more air with same amount of fuel being injected will lean out the fuel/air mixture. plus you'll get more power
VERY likely your fuel mix is too lean. Adjust the air/fuel mix settings and it should fix it.
Simple answer: air/fuel mixture is off. Too lean means too little fuel, too rich means too much fuel. Can be adjusted via air/fuel screw on a carb or via a remap on EFI. If you make changes to the air flow, you need to adjust the fuel as well.
Give engine more fuel
first thing to do is change air filter. if air filter is dirty or clogged it will restrict air flow, making mixture lean. if that doesnt fix problem, a mechanic can connect computer and adjust settings
I found this for you: The 51 code means "Fuel too lean." As opposed to a 52, which means "Fuel too rich." Now what does this mean? alldata.com had this to say: Jim Grant's Tech Tips What is Fuel Too Lean? Q: What is "fuel is too lean" mean in the diagnostic test? A: Fuel Too Lean is possibly one of the most difficult computer codes to diagnose. Why is that? There are a couple of things that you need to understand first, before you understand what too lean means. An engine to run correctly needs a good balance of air and fuel. This balance is called the air /fuel ratio. A correct balance of air and fuel is generally at a ratio of 14.7 pounds of air to one 1 pound of fuel. If you change either number of that ratio, is will have an effect on the engine's performance. The computer in your vehicle is always working to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio. However, as time goes on the engine wears, fuel injectors become restricted, vacuum leaks happen and sensors may become worn and/or lie to the computer. After all, it is a rough environment under the hood of your vehicle. The engineers designed the program in your vehicle's computer to make adjustments to compensate for changes that occur with time. This ability of the computer is called adaptive learn. But, there is a limit to how much the computer can adapt, all the while, maintaining the ideal air/fuel ratio. If the computer determines that it cannot adapt any more to provide enough fuel for the amount of air entering the engine it will turn on the check engine light and report a code indicating that the system is too lean. Too much air entering the engine for the amount of fuel available. There is also a code for the opposite condition of the engine receiving too much fuel, system too rich. In either case, the code does not indicate a broken sensor, all it means is that the computer cannot maintain the correct air/fuel ratio and it wants help in fixing the problem. I've seen many parts replaced because of this code that did not fix the problem. You'll need a technician that understands and has the necessary diagnostic tools to provide the correct solution to a system too lean computer code. Good luck.
Put some fuel injector cleaner in a tank of fuel. Replace the fuel filter and fix any vacuum leaks.
This is "Fuel/Air Mixture too lean on bank 2".Possible Causes:Intake air leaksFaulty front heated O2 SensorIgnition MisfireFaulty Fuel InjectorsExhaust gas leakIncorrect Fuel PressureLack of fuelFaulty (MAF) sensorPCV hose connected incorrectly
1999 Ford Taurus. System Adaptive fuel too lean banks 1 and 2. How can I fix these.
Type your answer here... how to fix lean bank 1 bank 2 on 2001 f150 check gpm on your mass air flow, check fuel filter also very very common is the pcv vacuum hose at the very back of engine ( hard to get to) on the upper plenum
What you have written does not sound familiar, the closest thing I can come to is that you have a low voltage reading on the upstream O2 sensor on the #1 cylinder side, replace the O2 sensor, reset the ECM and see if that remedies the problem.
