At any rate, the PTCM has detected a lean fuel condition, and is unhappy.

Try this :
Disconnect the negative ( black ) battery cable ( 10mm open end wrench ).
Wait 10 minutes, connect it back up.
See if the CEL clears, it may not come back.

If so, then :
1. find the vacuum leak ( lots of ways to do that, use search )
2. clean the MAF sensor ( use search )
3. replace the MAF sensor.

You should be able to drive short distances, but don't take my word on that.
Find a good independent MB type shop that doesn't mind working on a Crossfire.
Thx for the tips. I researched as well. I just don't know where MAV sensor in my Xfire sits. I will research that online. If I can't make it myself I have to find a MB shop who can help . Hopefully. Chrysler people we can forget.
I have also a current problem with my alarm what comes up often outside for no reason. My top isn't opening anymore and my driverside door won't lock anymore with the remote.
Might all those be related to the faulty module?
