Well i decided since it was time to put gas i would put a fuel system cleaner- octane booster, after doing so the engine revved funny and the check engine light came on, the tuner reads system running lean any ideas????

I'm guessing its just jacking with the o2 sensor readings, drive easy thru that tank of gas, and when you refill maybe it wont throw anymore codes

Yeah i added the octane boost-fuel line cleaner first, then i filled it up.. Even before pulling out of the shell the sel came on, i drove straight home hooked it up and it said bank 1 running lean, reset code drove around the block came back on ,then i went on a straight away, i wot the truck pulled over after the codes where bank 1 and 2 where running lean, cleared them drove around another 15 minutes the light did not come back on???

All Ford's throw 174 171, just ignore them. Or Google it if you get bored. It is usually a rotten vac line under the intake.

Replaced the vac line was not rotten, you think the carbon build up clogged the o2 sensors??
