Hey guys,
Got some error codes again. A quick breakdown of what I did since the original error codes began.

L99, 2SS/RS pkg
Last year:
1- change CAI, Headers, Cats, H-Pipe, Axle back to SLP Full CAI, Headers, High flow cats, X-Pipe, Resonators, muffler delete (LM1).
2- Custom tune with Diablo's Trinity.

During winter storage:
1- added AAC Style sidemarkers.
2- replaced fog stock fog lights with BF Xenon ones.
3- added RX catch can.

Last year I got some lean codes because the tuner did the tune with the O2 sensors programmed as short tube headers. Than he fixed it by changing the distance in the tune to long tube headers. This was done about 1 month before storing for winter.

I had my car stored from December to 2 days ago. I installed the AAC sidemarkers, everything seemed ok, than
I installed the catch can and everything seemed ok, than
the BF Xenon fog lights kit. I ran my relay power wires directly to the + & Ground in the hood area near driver side fender.
Than I ran my switch power wire to my ignition wire just over the gas pedal thinking activatinig the relay shouldn't take too much power. I did this to have automatic fog lights, turn the ignition on and they turn on, turn it off, well you get the point.
Tuesday, I finally drove it since December, about 14 Kms (just over 8 miles) and my check engine light came on. Took my Trinity to find the codes and got the following:

P0171- System too lean (Bank 1)
P0174- System too lean (Bank 2)
P0420- Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank 1)
P0690- ECM/PCM Power relay sense circuit high
P2119- Throttle actuator control throttle body Range/Performance

So the P0171 & P0174 I got last year, but was solved. The other 3 I never got.
Is my relay taking too much power from the ignition wire?
Can the re-tune from my tuner last year have only bought me more time or do I have a real problem.
I doubt all these code can be linked to one, although I kind of hope.

I know some of you will go 'bring it to the dealer', but they broke my confidence when they did 70 kms to check a rattle in my seat when I specifically told them they didn't have to drive it to make it rattle, and yes I baby my car, I even took the wipers off for a nicer look.

I think I covered everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
