"Lean Code"

Hey everyone,
I am new to this board.
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue.
I have a 2000 TL with about 50,000miles on it and it has always been very well serviced. My 2005 TSX has not experienced any such problems....Thank goodness!!!

I noticed that only on wet and extremely damp and humid days the engine light goes on and the engine begins to sputter. I have listened to your great feedback and I had the EGR cleaned out and a "motovac" done as well.

But the problem has resurfaced, so I am just wondering if it is a O2 sensor problem or something else???

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated

So your getting a lean code? Do you know which code exactly it is?

Yea its often a O2 problem but it could be a few other things.

You could have a vacuum leak somewhere. Do you hear any odd hissing sounds?

Thank you for your replies and assistance. It is greatly appreciated !!!

1) I don't know what the code is exactly. I will wait unitl my OBD arrives next week and I will scan it myself.

2) I don't recall hearing any hissing noises. If there are any hissing noises..where is the general direction that it would be coming from?


Thank you again for your help
