Need Help!!!!

My Service Engine Light came on yesterday. I checked the code and it says I am running lean. I am not running any engine management or an AF Controller. I do have a manual boost controller (set at 19psi), HKS intake, and exhaust. All of these parts have been on the car for more than 3000 miles. I had my 15000 mile service about 800 miles ago. Current mileage is 15980. I have disconnected the battery twice but the light comes back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

What is the code #? Is it a P0171?

Check all vacuum lines, and check all intake piping to make sure nothing is loose.

checked everything I could see without taking anything apart ie bumper and undertray. Everything seems to be in order.

can I still drive my car till I can get it to the dealership on Tuesday? Also this morning when I started the car it would drop RPM'S and shut off a few times before it warmed up (about 5 min).

Just for kicks go out and see if the I/C connection at the throttle body is connected firmly. You'll be fine driving your car to the dealer. Just don't go crazy on the RPM's and boost.

I turned the boost down to about 15psi. The connection at the throttle body is good to go as well as the intercooler.
