This trouble code Running lean(bank 2)
what should I be checking? I understand running to lean means not enough air, 02 sensor or what?

Hello and thanks for the donation!

This is most commonly caused by a faulty oxygen sensor or clogged catalytic converter. You can test the oxygen sensors and see if they are working properly. Also check for carbon build up at the EGR valve passage, this can cause the oxygen sensors to fail.
