Are you sure everything is put back properly? A vacuum leak will cause a lean condition.

Both sides can be running lean and Side 2 is just lean enough to set the P0174 code. Do you have a catch can? Any mods or is it still still stock other than the K&N?

It could be an O2 sensor and make sure there are no vacuum leaks. If you can, get it scanned.
