problem with lean exhaust and sputtering help?

My 1991 rs camaro 3.1L v6 has been running rough for the past few months in the winter. It has been sputtering alot until it is completely warm. sometimes a lean exhaust code comes up but doesnt stay on long. i changed my O2 sensor and my air intake and air filter. also a few times i have started it up and it pretty much just dies and just cranks but wont start. i need some help figuring out this problem thanks.

my fuel pressure at the rail is 42 pounds. would you think it could be a bad vacuum line?
