I recently had a similar problem with my truck. First time ever that the CEL came on with a little over 100K miles on it. The problem started out with just the CEL and P0171 and P0174 DTCs.
After a few months of neglecting diagnosing the problem, the engine started staling on me during normal driving usually at a stop. I checked the codes again and found the same two plus P1131 and P1151.
As soon as I had the opportunity to get under the hood, I found a rubber elbow in the PCV to intake manifold line that had a hole in it. I knew that this was the trouble as soon as with the engine running very roughly, putting my finger over the hole in the vacuum line, the engine ran smoothly. Good luck!
