Default Code help please!

Well I have the codes and know what they are, now how do I fix em?
1st code is P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1 and the second is P0174 Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 2.This morning I was in traffic and was idling along. From time to time the cars RPM would drop to about 200, it felt like it was going to stall, then it picked up again. Also my MPG average is at a all time low. It goes from 16mpg to about 19mpg hwy, rarely going into 20. I believe these are caused by the crappy BBK intake I have installed at the moment. I will be changing over to a LS6 intake next week, but id like to fix it for the mean time.
I also have these codes P0410 AIR System
and C1232 LF Wheel Speed Circuit Open or Shorted any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Lean codes could be a bas O2 Sensor.

The air tube code could be a bad or dirty check valve

The wheel sensor could be a bad wire or sensor on that wheel. You could swap the left to right to figure out if it's the wire or the sensor.

Buy the shop manual, has all the diags for each code. Best $100 you'll spend.

With lean codes both banks its not likely to be an oxygen sensor, lean codes are caused by vacuum leaks(including the intake gaskets) low fuel pressure (pump or fuel filter) , confused Mass Air Flow, and sometimes updated calibrations for these codes as well, first I would repair the P0410 A.I.R code so thats not messing with the o2 sensors and check it over real well cold engine for vacuum leaks at the intake gaskets.

First of all thanks for responding. Yeah, I went for a tune on Mon. and they couldnt do it cause of a vacum leak. He said it could be the gaskets but wasnt sure. When I put that BBK on I used the same old gaskets I know. Anywho, how does one go about checking for vacum leaks? Thanks again.

A vacuum gauge is a good place to start. Spraying carb cleaner around things like the intake to head surface is a backyard test. RPM's will change when the cleaner gets sucked into the engine.

Thank you, will do that ASAP. The engine will bog out if there is a leak right?

Yep. Get a gauge too so you can see what's going on.

P0410 is a code for the secondary air injection system--The air pump that pumps air into the exhaust to clean emissions ...check the intake hose that is on the air cleaner to see if it is on proprerly--check for any exhaust leaks--check the check valves on boths sides--they do carbon up sometimes and won't shut---also check all the air line connections on the driver's side to see if any of the hose clamps broke or hoses are bad--otherwise it may be a random code---have it cleared with a scanner and try again--
