Flecker, you were right.....sort of. It was the 02 sensor. I'm an idiot. Let me explain:
I replaced the 02 sensor in an attempt to fix the lean code....and it acted the same way as the initial 02 sensor did.....so I assumed it was not the culprit.
Unless if you don't plug it in all the way. Then it acts exactly as the failed sensor did.
The plug sits atop the transmission and requires that you sort-of bear-hug the tranny and feel your way. I guess I just didn't plug it together far enough the first time. It nearly fell apart when I checked it. I knew right then what had happened. I firmly plugged it together until I heard the snap of the connector latch and have had no problems since.
Thanks for all the input guys, I really appreciate it.

Glad you figured it out man!!!
LOL. It is usually the culprit though... so I just got lucky. I'm typically never right. Theres three ways to do things in my opinion:
1. the right way
2. the wrong way
3. and my way (which is exactly like the wrong way, just much much faster!)

Man, I was hoping this thread would just die, go away or get lost about 50 pages deep but when I saw you guys had replied to it, I knew I had to come clean.
Thanks again for the replies.
