Technical Background
Lean operating conditions/fuel trims.
In cases where the fuel trims demonstrate a lean operating condition and no issues have been found with fuel
delivery/quality, sensor operation, vacuum leaks or camshaft timing, there may be excessive crankcase vacuum with
corresponding low intake vacuum.
Service

Remove the Map sensor and attach a vacuum gauge to monitor intake vacuum.
Engine should have 18-20” of vacuum at idle (@ sea level).
If intake vacuum is too low:

Remove valve cover to inspect for missing sealing (freeze plug) plugs in cylinder head.
If missing:

Replace sealing plugs.
