Both codes are for engine running lean 171 to bank 1, 174 to bank 2. From my experience (depending on the heads and intake). It sounds like the intake is sucking air, may be warped, the engine may have gotten hot any number of reasons. The other possibility would be a weak injector pump. With reduced fuel pressure this could happen.

Most likely was using the 87 octane gas just start using the 93 or 94 octane gas running to lean because of low octane.
