Default P0171 and P0174 codes

Hi folks,

About 3 weeks ago my check engine lit up randomly. I thought it's the usual fuel system small leakage code so I didn't hurry to read the ECU, until it went away on the next 2-3 trips. Then it came back this week and I read it out immediately. I got P0171 and P0174 codes. The car was acting as always, no dropping of rpm or bad idle, nothing. I deleted it and it hasn't came back yet.

What do you think might be the cause?
The car is tuned with catless lt headers and factory oiled K&N air filter (I put it in ~3000kms ago).

You have a vacuum leak affecting both banks. Check the air intake tube at the throttle body. Or the MAF is misreporting.

If both bank fuel trims are elevated and if running at 3000 RPM decreases them you have a vacuum leak...if fuel trims are near 0 at idle but increase under load you have either a fuel delivery or MAF issue...this has nothing to do with your EVAP system (small leakage)

I know, I only said that because that's the reason I didn't pull the codes, because I thought the CEL is for the EVAP system.

Thank you for your help guys, I will check them.

Also, check your intake manifold bolts and re-torque.
