The o2's both banks indicate lean , & idle is high?
Look for a vacuum leak your problem prolly lies there.
Also make sure maf is clean & no leaks in bellows etc.

Yes , anything letting un-maf metered air in 'specially an egr tube.
You can use a hose to "hear " the leak, or spray carb cleaner at the spot & see if the motor reacts to it.
