Smile running lean

Hey guys My car started running lean. My wideband gauge shows up to 17 some times WOT and my check engine light came on which sad running lean. What should I do to fix that problem??? I was tuned by Devo like 3 month ago and it was fine but now it started running lean and I didn't even do anything to the car.

+1 on checking everything again.. b4 going WOT again.. anything fuel related check it twice..

Off topic but what is the rule of thumb when it comes to lean.. would you say 12.2:1..at WOT?

If you have your boost gauge tapped into the FPR line check to make sure it has not popped off the regulator or the mani.

^^^What he said. Make sure the vaccum line on the fuel pressore regulator has not popped off. Easy fix if it has.
