Check Engine, SuperCharger & K&N
I continue to get a check engine light with error code P0171. Which is lean. I have cleaned my MAS with electrical cleaner and replaced both 02 Sensors twice over the span of 4 - 6 months. This appears to clear the error code, but about a month and a half later, the check engine light comes on again with the same error.
What else can I check? I am thinking of removing my K&N filter charger with my factory air cleaner stuff today. Could the combination of the K&N with the supercharger be causing this? I have had the K&N since new, the supercharger was installed about 2 years ago now.
What do you all think?

make sure your K&N is oiled properly. I had the same lean code on my taco with just a K&N. Without the oil on the filter it lets more particles in and it plugs up the MAF. so just oil the K&N and clean the MAf and your problems sould go away.
