02 sensor codes

Ok, heres the story so far. Yesterday i installed a new MAF and a new disrtibutor in the 93 cat(3.8) After installing these, i cranked her up and she idled pretty smooth, but after listening to it idle for a few minutes, i thought i heard a vacuum leak. So i checked all hoses and connections and i found nothing. It sounds like its either coming from inside the IAC, like the spring is weak or something, not sure if its supposed to a weak sprign or strong spring, or from the plenum gasket. But anyway, would that cause the codes 172(HEGO 2 sensor fault/lean) and 173 (HEGO 2 sensor fault/rich). The o2 sensor should not be bad, its less than 4 months old. Would the vacuum leak cause both this codes at once?
Remember, if the women dont find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

When all else fails, get a bigger hammer.
