[some help please]

I have a 1998 Olds 88 and I have a lean condition PO171. I replaced intake gasket, repaired exhaust leak, replaced both O2 sensors, replace thermostat, flash ECM and I still have the same code.

On the car ; didnt they have some mass air flow issues? Or perhaps there is unmetered air getting into the system - a leaking air intake tube. Have seen that already.

i'm not absolutely sure here but i believe these intakes would develop leaks in the egr port causing this issue.
