Need the great Ranger Guru's help Eng light issue
Ok I have been trying to get this dam check eng, light off in my truck for weeks
Let me start at the begining I had something break loose in my Cat. and it rattled all the time internally not the shield so I replaced it with new, While it was off the truck I had to move the truck in and out of the garage so Check Eng light came on. installed new cat and reset light and all good for about 3 weeks
'
Then light came on again this time I checked codes PO171 and PO174
Fuel trim Bank one and two Lean condition.
I have replaced both o2 sensors uppers on bank 1 and 2
replaced all spark plugs
clean air filter , Cleaned Mass air flow
replaced PVC
have run a can or 2 of injector cleaner through the tank
It is driving me crazy now I need to get through emmisions to get new tags
any idea can't keep spending money and not fixing the issue
Every time I reset the code before I did new plugs, light would stay off for a least three start cycles, now it comes on in about 4 mins
It could be fuel pressure is low but the truck really runs so good I am baffled I wonder if the new cat convert is bad I am almost to the point of reinstalling the old one and see if the light goes out.
Anyone have any idieas

cats wont cause lean codes. if they were pluged it would cause a rich code. u have to have a vacuum leak, mass air flow, low fuel pressure possibly. these are about the only thing that can cause both banks to throw these 2 codes at the same time.
Sorry guys must have tyoe in the wrong Code the 1st time I searched after OTRtech reply I went back and researched again found it to be the same problem everyone else has been having. Thanks foe sending me in the right direction Ken Appeicate it.
