I did smoke test with cigar. I did find that upper air duct that goes over throttle seemed to have comprised seal/gasket so I replaced it. Car drives good not one hesitation or stumbled, but still get po171 and po174 off and on; with rough idle when CEL comes on. My question, could it be a bad fuel injector. Thanks.

I have seen when you replace the mass air flow sensors on those with after market ones still having those lean codes. You could have a vacuum leak somewhere else also.
