My truck threw another code at me

today i was driving to class and got to a stop light and my truc stalled. i restarted it and was off but a problem the service engin soon light came on. i got it into the shop and hooked the code reader it said the system too lean.
i installed the gotts mod about a month ago. my shop teacher said it was the intake mod. yes i did reset the computer after i installed the new intake.

it is about 15 degrees outside

The Gotts mod alone will/should not throw any codes on the 97-03 engines. I have been running it for 3 years on a '99 and a '01 5.4 until I got a CAI for the '01.

You have something else wrong i think.

yeah i took it in to class today and looked at all the vacaume hoses to see if anything is loose. nothing was loose. so my teacher said it could be that i cut my muffler off and the back presser is casuing it. so i cleared the code and just gonna see how long before it comes back or it even does come back

Either the EGR clogged, injector failure, or A/F sensors need replaced, possibly spark plugs depending if they have been changed out before.
