Low fuel pressure could cause both banks to be lean. Also if you have a 4.0 they have intake manifold vacuum leaks and that could cause it too.

Also check the PCV valve.. make sure its seated properly in the grommet.. i've seen quite a few come out.. even a couple "cracked" valves.

They are pretty cheap.. usually under ten bucks.. might as well throw a new one in there while you're at it.

Other possibilites = putting ethanol (E85) in a non flex-fuel vehicle

Low fuel pressure and/or volume

Intake leaks (as previously mentioned)

Poor fuel quality
