I have sealed the hoses no leak but cannot figure out this error.

This is usually caused by one of two things, either the fuel filter is clogged up or the MAF needs to be replaced.

Here is a guide to help as well and I have added the filter and sensor locations in the diagrams below:

Clear the codes once the job is complete to recheck the system. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
