Check Engine Light!!!

I have a 2012 Camaro LT, 35k miles....Wednesday my check engine light came on, after a day it went off. Today my tire caught flat (ran over something) and the light came on at that same time. I took it to AutoZone after getting new tire and they gave me two codes (P0171 and P0174). Can someone help me with what i should do next??? The feedback is highly appreciated

P0174 is fuel trim lean bank 2, P0171 is lean bank 1.

Clean MAF, change air filter, check intake for leaks, for starters.

What is MAF? Is the air filter easy to replace? I may have to take to dealer, not real car handy

They sell the cleaner in the auto parts store, it is a spray.....the Mass Air Flow Senser is in the round tube from your air filter into your intake.

Download Torque to your smart phone and get a $5 bluetooth plugin for your car and you won't have to take it to AutoZone to have codes read.

Download the app Torque for free from the Android Playstore.
Purchase the bluetooth plugin from Amazon (about $5 shipped) and plug it in to your ODBII port on the car.
