Wrong Site, right engine
Okay folks- Does anyone know of a comparable site like this for Lincolns? If not, you're the best I've got 
I know-screen name says I'm a Pontiac guy, but I adapt-
Anyway, I have a 1996 Lincoln TC Signature with a 4.6L that I just picked up.
CEL codes are PO171,174,304,1131,1151
Given all the lean codes and all, I figured to go through a vacuum leak check, and work from there. I'm reading this site for the P17* codes, and will do all those checks.
Any other hints that I might need to know? Thanks a ton for any info you've got!

Welcome to the forum. I think we can help you out here.
Look closely at the PCV hose assembly. There are a couple different rubber connections on the plastic tubing that are known to get soft and and crack causing vacuum leaks. I would also clean the MAF. Just spray the filaments with either MAF cleaner or brake parts cleaner. They do not leave a film. I wouldn't touch them with anything because they are very fragile.
Try this and let us know how it goes.
