Default P0171 and P0174

Have a friend with these codes P0171 and P0174 bank 1 and 2 too lean.
Does anyone have any ideas? The car is also exhibiting a slight pulsing rise and drop in RPM's at idle.

Have you checked all of the intake piping for a vacuum leak. Or an exhaust leak before the O2 sensor.

What mods are done to the car? If it's not stock it probably needs a tune.

I had the exact same thing this spring. It was a vaccuum leak at the throttle body. Passenger side, just above the rocker cover (under the fuel rail cover) PCV hose had a hole in it at a 90 degree bend. GM wanted $400.00 for the "hose assembly" (they have been known to go bad) I fixed it for $2.00 with a piece of 3/8 neoprene fuel hose in 30 seconds. good luck.

I get the same codes after installing the Vararam kit. I'm about to install American racing headers and get a tune.

I agree with the vacuum leak. Use a can of carb cleaner and lightly spray around the base of the intake. that may reveal any vacuum leaks.
Thats where Id start. If its runing rough, I know GM has a bullitin out for those codes plus a p0300 for bad bank 1 o2 sensors.
Hope that helps.

Just to let everyone know the carb spray located a leak in the intake gasket right in front. This is being replaced on Monday.I am also having the manifold checked for warpage.

Cool! Glad you found it! I know theres a bullitin for the trucks for manifold warpage - havent seen one for the cars - yet.
Im sure it will be fine - probably bad gaskets.
Keep us posted!
