The MAF cleaning was a 'possibilty'.. But chances are that the intake O rings are pulling in un-metered are causing your lean codes.. 'Common' for these engines.. Usually they leak cold, and as the engine heats can seal making a diagnosis a little harder if checking with smoke/propane ect.. Without testing for fuel trims and freeze frame data to verify the leaks and when they occured for sure, I can only offer you the 'tip'.. I would have a hard look into the manifold seals....There's a TSB for this issue that covers your model.. TSB 04-17-4

My daughters 98 explorer with a soch engine it had the same codes and at cold idle it was up and down. So I replaced the iac valve and cleared the codes. Two months now and they haven,t come back.
