P0171, 0174 codes :(

After about a 20 minute drive the CEL came on. I plug in the scanner, and I get p0171 and p0174, which I know are cly 1 and 4 running lean.

I've been googling this for a while, but I don't have any of the symptoms other people describe. My idle is smooth now. It was rough before, as it had a misfire on 5, which is why I changed the plugs and coils. The x is running smooth, accelerates better, etc.

Some say it could be an intake leak, or a vaccoum leak somewhere, but alas, I don't know where the vacuum hoses are, so I'm kind of at a loss.

Going to check the intake and clean the MAF tomorrow jic, but not sure where to look for a vacuum leak, since I've never been that car-savvy.
