clogged injectors? try running some seafoam through the tank. hows your fuel pressure? not enough fuel getting to it, so maybe theres a leak somewhere or something.

icm or coil it sounds like.. sounds like the coil or icm is breaking down.. when they go bad or get old the particles breakdown in them when hot.

i have and msd coil on it that i put on not long ago, but how would one of those things make the car run lean?

well if the icm is breaking down then your car is going rough.. causing your car to have a misfire therefore reading lean and not really actually having a fuel problem.. had this happen on a 3.8 i worked on..

hook up a fuel pressure gauge and check for vacuum leaks (also post maf leaks)

well i switched my icm and coil with a friends and i still had the same problem, i also just replaced the manifold pressure sensor and the air temp sensor. i think i will be able to check the fuel pressure monday.
