This relates to a lean fuel condition which can be caused by many different things such as:
- Intake air leaks
- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor
- Ignition misfiring
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- Lack of fuel
- Faulty Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor (You already replaced, so it should not be this)
- Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection
