agent - did you reset the CEL or remove the battery for like 15 minutes?

How long after you started driving did the CEL come on?

We need the code in order to help you more

sorry it took me so long but i have been out for work. i have reste the CEL by disconnecting the battery and also by clearing the codes witht the code reader machine. i keep getting codes P0171 bank 1 too lean, P0174 bank 2 too lean, and i think P1130 A/F Sensor- Bank 1 Sensor 1 and P0150 A/F Sensor- Bank 2 Sensor 1. but the thing is that i replaced both a/f sensors in march or april so there should not be anyway that they are bad. i know that the first pair of codes are do to the second pair. has anyone had any probplem with this or know the solution? thanks.
