I have changed the 8 spark plugs and wires like 2 months ago.

Answer
Hi Marcelino,

not much.  You have a fully electronic engine management system and all are controlled by sensors and adjustments are very few.  LR mechanics with a 'testbook' diagnostic device can manipulate some components but there is nothing you can do.  Changing the plugs and wires is about it.

With a system too lean...it could be a MAF sensor that is misbehaving. Best to have a testbook diagnostic done to see which sensor or component is causing this.  When was the last time you had the air filter replaced?

Best of luck,
