SYSTEM too lean code! Drving me CRAZY

Hey everyone i have a 97 f150 supercab with 179,000 miles on it. she runs and drives likr brand new. but i keep getting the System too lean code in BANK 2 to keep coming up. I have no idea what could cause it it runs fine and gas millage is still the same. Does anyone kno what it could possibly be?? before i bring it in to get it fixed im a real big DIYer. any info/pics ANYTHING would be very helpful! thanks
