Ah-Ha

After 3 months of amber glare of the CEL and 300+ times of clearing the p0172 code and getting real tired of reading lean condition, I found it. I decided to check the vacuum hose that runs behind the heaton and what do I find but that cheap azz rubber 90 at the bottom of the hose that goes to the vacuum lines and into the idler air system had stretched about 2 inches and busted. I removed it and replaced it with 3/8 fuel line hose and WA-LA no CEL

You knew it was back there the entire time. You just didn't want to go after it. You didn't have to take the S/C off did you?

congrats for getting it fixed, and you should see my hands after working on that driver side rear shock. Shocks are suppose to be easy; not that one.
