System Too Lean

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 1994 GMC Vandura Special, 1994 GMC Vandura, 1994 GMC Suburban, 1994 GMC Rally Camper Special, and 1994 GMC Rally. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If air/fuel ratio is too lean, idle speed may be either too high (check for vacuum leaks) or too low. Engine speed may vary and disconnecting IAC may not help. Scan tester and/or digital voltmeter (10 megohm) will read an oxygen sensor output less than 300 mv (.3 volt). Check for low fuel pressure or water in fuel.
