Hello and welcome to justanswer.com

 

That code is for the bank two cylinders running too rich. This is usually accompanied by a P0172 for the other bank but that code may be pending and your scan tool cannot read it. First we need to check fuel pressure as this can be the cause of an engine running rich. A mechanical gauge and a Ford style adapter is needed to do this. Next we should look at the air flow meter sensor on the air cleaner housing to make sure it is not contaminated and the sensor connection is clean and secure. I have been seeing some issues with the sensor itself and/or the wiring at the connector.

Its not the oxygen sensors that are the issue it is most likely that mass air flow sensor which is the sensor that is on the top of the air cleaner housing.
