Lean Code

In my long list of MILs, I am now getting a right bank lean code? Does anyone know what this means or what to do about it?

Previous codes have been O2 sensor, knock sensor, closed loop control and evap. I have gotten some of these several times. I have recently replaced the right O2 sensor and the knock sensor. I have spent $1,000 to date and still can't seem to get them resolved.

Thanks,
Brian

It means your car is running lean.... Try getting your fuel injection cleaned..

I had the fuel injectors cleaned two months ago. Is it possible that salt from the road is getting them clogged again? I looked at my headlights this morning and noticed they are completely covered in salt.

Update

I am still getting the lean code, but now the MIL is flashing. I have noticed no change in performance. I am taking it to a mechanic this morning.

Hopefully, I can really get it fixed this time.
