Default What is PCM Code P0174?

I have had 100 trouble free miles on my 02 Z06 since putting on the vararam and the car is running great, and all of a sudden it just threw a check engine light with a pcm code of P0174. Is this a lean code? Can you code experts please let me know what code this is for and is it something to concerned about or not?

THANKS!!!

Is this a big deal or something i should just reset and see if it returns, etc. Its not like this can cause engine damage from detonation is it?

I would just erasethe code and see if it comes back. Sometimes this is a precursor to a o2 sensor grtting ready to puke or could be a freak occurance when the car and air temp outside is cold. Probably nothing to worry about IMO.
