This is not a guaranteed fix, but it worked on my truck. Get a can of Mass Air Flow sensor cleaner. There is a specific cleaner for MAF sensors, then spray it in your MAF. In my truck it is a canister directly behind my air filter. This cleaned up the lean on bank one and two code on my truck. Make sure you also check your air filter, the airfilter canister, and wipe everything down there too.
