Left Bank Lean Error code

Hi guys!

While picking my '01 F150 (4.2/M5OD) up after inspection last night I got a service engine soon light.

It's telling me "Left Bank Lean -- 0174"

What should I look at first?

Thanks!

-Sam

+1 look for a vacuum leak first. Most simple and I believe most common.

Here is a little more info:
