A p0171 and a p0174 code usually means that either your Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF) is dirty, or your fuel filter is dirty. Change your fuel filter and run it about 1000 miles. Then change the fuel filter again. When you change it again save the fuel filter you take out. Run water through it and catch the water in an old can or large jar. Check the water for any dirt or stuff like that. If there is a lot of dirt in the water then repeat the process.
Do not use an air filter that requires oil to be sprayed on the filter--like a K&N filter. The oil gets on the MAF sensor causing hesitation and misfires. Even if you do not have an air filter like this, your MAF sensor is probably dirty. To clean it take it out and spray electrical contact cleaner or brake cleaner on it. MAF sensors are rather expensive to replace, so I would clean it first.
There also could be a vacuum leak somewhere down stream from the MAF sensor. Check the round gasket on the throttle body where the induction unit seals up against.
