Default Fuel Trim System Problems

OK, I need help with the codes I am getting of the DIC. I just had clutch and tranny work done, and now that I have the car back, I got the engine light on the display. I pulled the codes and got the following:

10 PCM
P0171 (Current & History) = Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1 B
and
P0174 (Current & History) = FUel Trim System Lean Bank 1 B

What does that mean? I thought the Oxygen sensor might not have been plugged back in, but that does not seem to be the case. Has anyone else had this problem and got it fixed?

BTW, it is a 99 coupe with no mods other than the new clutch and a K&N filter.

PM sent, Mark. I'll look 'em up in the morning when I get home and see what I can come up with.

It is very possible that you have a damaged O2.. from when they removed the midpipe to work on the clutch. Might have been hit hard or something. It also is possible that something didn't get sealed right causing an exhaust leak (which in turn causes a "false" lean condition)
