2000 Explorer engine codes

My 2000 Explorer (4.0 SOHC) has P0171 and P0175 codes. Several possibilities given from Auto Zone. It was running perfectly until 2 days ago. Sputters like a misfire, loss of power when accelerating, but will maintain highway speeds. Under the hood the "odd" sounds are coming from the passenger side (bank 2 I believe?) and seem to be very directional as to where they're originating. My thoughts are a single injector gone bad since it was abrupt and since it will even out for a bit almost completely but then sputters again. Would a sensor or vacuum leak suddenly do this? Still thinking injector... Thanks everyone!

P0171 bank 1 running lean

P0175 bank 2 running rich.

This is a case of connecting a scanner (not a code reader) and checking O2 switching and LTFT...

Reset the CEL and see if the codes return.... Post results... Philip
