After plugging my OBDII autoscanner I got a reding of PO171& PO174,which means lean fuel on both banks.What could possibly be the problem. Would appreciate any info.Thanks

Vehicle year/make/model/mileage would help.
However, check the following:
- Oxygen sensor.
- PCM Grounds.
- Fuel pressure. This is not likely the case because it could also set a P0137 DTC if the pressure is too low.
- Perform injector balance test.
- Check for vacuum leaks.
- Check for exhaust leaks.
- MAF sensor. Disconnect and see if problem goes away, if so, replace MAF sensor.
- Fuel contamination (water)
- PCM connections.
- Wiring harness.
- Secondary Air Injection Reaction (AIR) system for damage or leaks, especially check valve.
- PCV Valve and associated hoses.
This is where a scan tool rather than a code reader would come in handy.
