Default Running Rough with check engine light coming on

I recently purchased an used C6 LS3, I have driven it for less than 3 weeks and all of a sudden the check engine light has come on. I took it to the dealer and had it placed on the computer and they told me that the "Lean Fuel Sensor" was indicating on the computer. They reset it and I put some fuel Additive (Sea Foam) in and after driving for about 30 minutes the check engine light came on again, and the engine began to idle rough. Any ideas?

Try cleaning your throttle body and MAF sensor.

check for a loose plug wire they have been known to come off the plug or coil pack (part way)
