Anything that causes a misfire will cause the mixture to indicate lean.  Remember, it's an Oxygen sensor.  If you don't burn the fuel it's got a lot of that being pumped down the exhaust  making the instrument think things are Very lean.. 

Problem may not be fuel related at all.

After I get the engine running smoothly in a range, it will occasionally
hiccup.  When it does, the mixture will then go down sometimes off the
scale, then come back to where it was.  I have not noticed any dips in the
MAP table at these locations.
Any ideas, suggestions?
