Default 98 ranger 4.0 lean in both banks puzzled

Changed plenum gaskets

Any help would be appreciated

Cold and new start ups it bogs and idles bad till warm but once drive seems symptom free and has me puzzled

I previously had this and the wiring was burnt through for the egr valve causing a non working egr valve. Also a bad fuel pump can cause this.ie low pump pressure

Is it lean at idle , cruise or both? Lean at idle is usually a vacumn leak. At cruise could be harder to pin down. Does it rev up ok?

I have the same codes and have been ignoring it for awhile because it runs fine (unlike yours) which is not the right thing to do I know. Mine seemed to start when I had custom exhaust put on. Do you have anything different on the exhaust?

It is more than likely your upper intake o-ring gaskets. I have a 1998 4.0 super cab and I had this happen to me,after I changed out the upper intake o-ring gaskets my lean trouble codes p0171 and p0174 went away. Hope This Helps
