Default RSX-S check engine light

So my check engine light came on and (forgot the code number off the top of my head) saying I'm running lean according to Autozone and Acura. Acura told me I have carbon build up on the valves so they kept my car overnight and put engine cleaner hoping to break down the carbon. Said that should work and about 20 miles down the road later it came back on. Any idea's on what's the next step so I don't get raped by the dealer?

Either low fuel pressure or problem with the injectors. Im thinking the injectors.
