Exclamation Error Codes PO171 & PO174

Someone please help me?!? I scanned my computer with a MAC Tools scanner and it read codes PO171 and PO174. My engine light intermittently goes off and on. At first, I thought it was an O2 sensor, but it looks like it may be something else. What does that mean what do I do to fix it? Thanks.

Re: Error Codes PO171 & PO174

Your engine is 1) running so lean that the PCM can not correct the problems, using the maximum range of the long term fuel correction (+25%); or 2) False information is causing you PCM to assume the above.

Actually running lean:
-inadequate fuel pressure
-faulty MAF
-huge vacuum leaks

"False" lean:
-exhaust leaks before the O2 sensors
-excessive misfires
-faulty O2 sensors
