Sounds like a leaky air bridge.

Tom, when did you pull the screen? Plus, you were just working around the air bridge. As mentioned above, check carefully for air leaks in the intake area.

MAF screen was pulled over 1500 miles ago. No air bridge work lately.

A lean condition can be caused by unmetered air making it past the MAF - in other words, a leak. Go over the intake system from the air filter back and double ceck every connection carefully to rule that out first.
