too lean could be a VAC leak. IE unmetered air being drawn into the engine. AS your engine is non turbo you need to check all the inlet pipes after the MAF for signs of leak. if you spray carb cleaneraround the inlet pipes with the engine at idle you will hear the engine note pickup when you spray near a leak. (only needs a small amount though, don't go soaking the pipes as it should be easily noticed) HTH
