Default SES light comes and goes..

The SES light will come on for a few days, then go away for a few days, and then come back on again. The error codes are P0171 and P0174. I just changed the fuel filter and the light is still on. The next thing I plan on trying is cleaning the MAF. If there was a leak (vaccum, intake, etc..) would the SES light stay on the whole time? What if the o2 sensors are bad? Would the SES also be on the whole time?

Are you stock or modded? Those codes indicate that the fuel trims have added all the allowable fuel, but still can't bring the car back to stoich. Both banks have codes, and it seems unlikely that you would lose both O2s at the same time.

I would look for an exhaust leak, or if you are modded with no exhaust leaks, I would look to your fueling commanded by the PCM.
