I have a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 85,268 miles and I have trouble codes P0171 Too Lean Bank 1 and P0174 Too Lean Bank 2. Guy at O'Reilly's said it was the upstream oxygen sensors. Wasted $125 because that didn't fix the problem. What can cause these codes and what can I do to fix it? It is 2wd with 4.0 l V-6. Thank you.
