Dirty injectors, low fuel pressure, any leak behind the maf, recently replaced pcv with the o ring missing, dirty fuel filter, are some possibilities. I assume it runs ok?

Contaminated MAF sensors can also cause lean conditions. Cleaning the MAF sensor requires removing it and cleaning with an appropriate cleaner.

"Appropriate cleaner" means; do not use brake cleaner, or carb cleaner on the MAF!
