1996 Toyota Tacoma. L4 - 2.4L vin L 2438 cc. After engine reaches operating temp., Engine cuts out and misfires randomly. RPMS drop until engine stalls. Sometimes if you feather the pedal, you can keep it running but never recovers. My diagnostic machine says the engine running lean on bank one along with the random misfire codes. What do you think could be the cultrate here?

I have seen the MAF sensor go out and cause this issue and leave no code for it, here is the sensor location and a guide to go over so you can understand more of what's going on.
