My 01 5.4 expulsion has been running pretty bad for a while and it never would throw a code, but I finally got a code the other day and I'm getting p171 and p174 codes. After researching the internet about the codes, it seems that the common culprit is the PVC tube, but I replaced that assembly about a month ago. I have also checked for vacuum leaks and cleaned the mad. So does anyone have any ideas what might be causing my truck to run lean

Mine was throwin the lean codes, and it ended up being a intake manifold gasket that was leaking on the back of the block. Problem was, when it warmed up all the way, it ran fine, just a CEL. I spent 3 weeks trying to figure it out, shop had it for 5 days before they could figure it out.
