Default 171 & 174 Code help

Can't seem to kick the 171/174 codes. ( both banks running lean) The car runs rough and stumbles from a start. When I unplug the MAF it runs great except for the check engine Light. ( its my understanding that the computer goes to a rich setting when the MAF is unplugged). Cleaned the MAF with the correct cleaner, and even swapped out one with no help. I have looked for a vacuum leaks and haven't turned up anything. Whats next? Check the o2 sensors? How? Anyone had this code, what was the fix?
