Those codes mean both banks are 25% too lean. If it's a hard code (light on all of the time) it means the Long Term Fuel Trims (LTFM) are 25% positive; like I said too lean.Most of the time it can be pinpointed back to a MAF, but can be other problems. You need to remember if it came on when you did some mods or has it been on a long time. You can clear the code, but it will come back after a complete drive cycle. You need to Autotap the car and log the fuel trims and O2's.

Maybe a vacuum leak. Mine was doing the exact same thing, except mine was intermitent. I traced it back to a vacuum leak that only showed up when the engine was warm.
