Q: Car hesitates, bank one and bank two too lean. 2001 Hyundai XG300.

asked by on August 26, 2016

When I drive, the car sort of hesitates like it's not getting enough fuel. I've done several repairs on the car, including spark plugs, fuel filter and air filter replacement, along with the wires and coil connectors change. I went to get the code read and the error codes indicated that bank one and bank two are too lean. These codes keep appearing each time I test the car. What might cause this and what can I do to improve the performance of the car?
