Honda Accord Is Running Lean Q. I have a 1999 Honda Accord 2.3 liter with a manual transmission. The Check Engine Light is on and the code say's it's running lean. Can you give some ideas on the best way to trouble shoot this problem? Jordan

A. Since you didn't see fit to tell me what the exact code was, I can only offer general advice that would pertain to any vehicle.

You could have a leak in the air induction system, a clogged fuel injector, clogged fuel filter, bad Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, low fuel pressure, a leak in the exhaust system, a vacuum leak, a bad O2 sensor or a cracked PCV hose.
