Just went tru this, culprit was K&N discharge at throttle body intake , both clamps loose and probably sucking air and all not going thru MAF. tightened clamps cleared code, cleaned MAF and all good.
hope it helps
I switched to JLT about a year ago. Did take a quick look this morning but didn't see anything obviously loose. But I'll take a closer look later. I did clear the code to see if it comes back.

I cleared the code and the Check Engine Light has not come on again yet. I drove about 60 miles. Let the car idle in the parking lot at work today and idle sounds slightly not as smooth as usual but ok. Maybe need to clean the idle air motor or something. I opened the hood to feel and visually inspect the PVC and the hoses and the connecter to the Mass air flow sensor. Everything seemed fine and secure.
As I got back in the car, the car died. Started car and it runs normally again so probably a fluke. Did check for more codes but got P1000 which I think the means the car hasn't been driven enough yet to finish its tests.

OK, the check engine light came back on. Same P0174 but also now showing P0171. Which I believe is too lean bank 1. P1000 hasn't gone away yet but I assume that will go away once enough miles are on the car.
Can hear that the idle is not quite normal.

Oh and I did try another Mass Airflow sensor and that didn't change anything.

Check the large hose that enters the upper intake on the right side.

OK. I see the tear now in the big vacuum line near the intake on the passenger side. That has to be the problem.

Do my eyes deceive me, or does that vacuum line somehow attach to the other two smaller vacuum lines? Or is that somekind of other piece that I wouldn't have to replace?

The picture doesn't quite do it justice, but the tear is more in the shaded part continuing along the side.

Unless I got the wrong code as 0194--
Believe had same code/problem and if so it was the fuel rail sensor--replaced- all good--
Update---my bad --it was 0194 not 0174--carry on...
