Means you got a fuel problem or air flow counting problem and no it's not talking about fuel cut.

Thats a fuel trim code.

You need to check a list of things.
-MAF
-Injectors
-Fuel pressure
-Air drawn from gasket leaks(unmetered air)
-The 02 sensors and the heater circuits
-ECT sensor
-IAT sensor
-Barometric pressure sensor
-Exhaust leaks
-ECM

These are the possible causes. You need the proper information and tools to check this.

Hope this helps.

First thing I'd check is vacuum leaks.
