I have time to figure it out how I want it. Could a small misfire in the engine cause it to run lean? I had a misfire in cylinder 8 yesterday, maybe they are connected

Cleaned the throttle body and the mass air flow sensor today, even with our latest mosquito infestation we had, that's dedication.
I reset the computer, turned the truck back on and noticed a really high idle near 1300 rpm for the first 45 seconds, then it settled back down to normal, around 700-800. Drove it around and the light came back on, again p1151. I still have to drive it around more to get the rest of the codes. The high idle happens every time I start the truck and last about 30-60 seconds.
I'm thinking I may need to clean the o2's, the mosquitoes are just horrible to be underneath the truck.

Mine always idle high when I first started like maybe hit 1500, but went back down to normal quick. Now It's hits the 1500 slowly goes down to 1200rpm, stays there for about 10-15 seconds, then goes down to 1000 rpm and does the same for about 10 secs and slowly keeps doing this.

Managed to change out 7 of the 8 spark plugs. #4 is really difficult, it can wait a little longer. Replaced upstream o2 sensor on the driver side. Idler arm went out, but was still under warranty. Now if the check engine light stays off and I'm able to pass inspection, I will be able to start putting money back for actual mods instead of just maintenance

I'm so glad I did it. It's the factory tint. Just like how the 97 had the mirror tint actually in the glass, these are the same but with darker tint, which actually looks decent. They have some with no tint at all, like the one I originally bought, but the junk yard had these two. They let me trade the clear one for the tinted one and I paid for the other.
