2002 ford f-150 with the 4.2 v6 engine and auto trans the service engine soon light is on you have had a scan on the system and the code reads lean condition what could the problem be?

A lean burn condition can be caused by a faulty EGR valve, a leaky intake manifold gasket, damaged or missing vacuum lines, low fuel pressure, poorly adjusted throttle position sensor or fouled injectors. I'm probably missing a few conditions there, but you get the idea.

It's just about impossible for anyone to tell you what's wrong without looking at it.

The secondary air injection pump is working but the code that came up indicates it is bad What else could it be?

The code is thrown when the exhaust system oxygen sensor does not see a stream of oxygen rich fresh air. I had the same problem and reduced the answer to a secondary air injection shutoff valve. There are two valves that are vacuum actuated, one for each manifold pipe. One valve is located on the drivers side at the front of the engine and the other valve is located on the rear passenger side near the firewall. You will have to remove the radiator surge tank to access this one. Start with the easy front one and remove the vacuum hose from the nipple. Take a spare piece of vacuum hose and attach. Using your mouth to apply vacuum and place your tongue on the end of the hose to maintain vacuum. If vacuum cannot be held then it is a diaphragm leak and cannot be fixed. If this works, do the same to the rear valve. Unfortunately this was my failed valve. This valve corresponds with the right side and is part number AC Delco 214-2114. It comes with the convoluted pipe that connects to the exhaust system but I removed it and used the existing in place pipe as it was near impossible for me to access the fasteners. If this is your problem, then compare the price at AC-Direct through Amazon. This is where I purchased my part.

Note: Left side part number is AC Delco 214-1940 The above response assumes that the existing vacuum hoses are not leaking and that the vacuum solenoid valve is working (rarely the problem).
