The main problem is that the engine immediately cuts after starting, to counteract I give it gas up to around 2000rpm for a minute or so then it is good to drive. I drive it for ~10 mins to work and it'll die when I take my foot off the throttle and/or do a low-speed turn. I can "fix it" by cranking my throttle up to ~2000 rpms at idle (throttle cable housing has a break so I can pull it over the lip and keep it high) but this is a VERY short term fix.
I am running a P0171 code and banks 1 & 2 are lean. I recently replaced the intake manifold gasket vacuum leak + IACV valve and to my knowledge don't have other vacuum leaks, though my vac reservoir to the cabin is going bad. On the highway the truck performs just fine, I drove 1300 miles to Texas and back this weekend. Fuel filter < 5000 miles old. Do have a pretty bad power steering fluid leak too. After the truck dies and I crank it back from neutral it will have a back and forth rocking and the idle will fluctuate below 500rpms. I'm thinking maybe the fuel injectors or pump are going bad, or it's an O2 sensor.
Anyone had a similar problem or know what it might be? Thanks.
