Raw fuel coming out exhaust at idle

My 98' 4.0 drives down the road fine once it clears it's throat but when at idle the exhaust smell is really strong and it stumbles dropping cylinders and sprays a mist of unburnt fuel out the exhaust pipe. Of course mileage has dropped to 9.5mpg.

The O2 sensors are 2.5 years old but only have about 10k of mileage over them. Computer shows a Lean Code for Bank 1 and PO107 Generic (Manifold absolute pressure/ Baro Sensor Low Input)

Any suggestions on where to start?

Here are my numbers using an Innova 3140 scan tool

Air temp 101

FS 1 ______ CL ______________ CL
FS 2 ______ N/A _____________ N/A

O2S B2 _____ 1.02 ___________ .98 - 1
STFT B2 ____ 99.2 ____________ 99.2

O2 bank one at zero. No good. bad sensor or sensor wire is shorted to ground fooling the PCM into thinking engine is running lean.

You can read the results of that in that the STFT 32 % rich. PCM is commanding a rich exhaust, and see also O2 bank 2 running at .98 to 1v (full rich) yet the B1S1 is still reading 0v, so the PCM threw a P0171
 
Thanks I appreciate it. I didn't think the 0 was good but I couldn't remember what the proper ranges are suppose to be. Looks like I am heading out to chase wires and if that looks good replacing the up stream O2 sensor.
 
Thanks for the added suggestion scottmcneal

Well I replaced the upstream O2 sensor with a new one this evening and still no change on the scan tool. Still reading 0. So other than chasing wires hoping to find a broken/exposed wire grounding out kind of thing. Any other ideas on what to look for? Thanks again.
