Check the rubber intake elbow before the throttle body. They get torn or crack with age. Also may not be installed right.

exhaust leaks before and directly after the O2 can cause a fauls lean. Usually don't see it on both banks though unless both backs have leaks.

most likely it is unmetered air getting in to the engine after the MAF. Get some starting fluid and spray it around underhood with the engine idling. If the idle raises up, than there is a leak somewhere allowing the engine to pull in outside air and the starting fluid.
