This code is stored when the DME detects excessive
deviations in the air-fuel mixture (too rich or too lean) for longer
than 10 seconds.

Possible causes:
1)Fuel tank low/empty, clogged fuel filter giving you incorrect Fuel Pressure,
or you have a failing fuel pump
2)Injector valve defective or coked,
3)Engine Temperature Sensor defective,
4)Secondary air leak,
5)Fuel evaporation control system defective,
6)Air Flow Meter defective; and/or
7)Combustion is being disturbed by mechanical failure (Spark plugs, compression, intake/exhaust valves, ...etc.)

I suggest u look at #1 first; then #7 next.

Good Luck
