i would look for a vacuum leak. the SOHC 4.0's have a vacuum line elbow that likes to crack and will leak causing a lean condition in both banks. ill try and find a pic of the elbow.

edit: heres the elbow that usually goes bad. its located under the throttle body and runs along the upper intake plenum.
