EDIT: Looked under the hood when she got home and the lid to the airbox had came unsnapped and was a small gap there. I'm going to clean the throttle body and MAF sensor after i saw what had happened

Really, those Advance Auto code retrievers don't do much. You really need a scan so you can see what your sensors are actually reading. My first bet goes to the 02 sensor, but that is only an educated guess.

please fill this out, as it helps me and others who look up the codes because we need year, make and model

DTC P0171 Fuel Trim System Lean
Circuit Description

In order to provide the best possible combination of driveability, fuel economy, and emissions control, a closed loop air-to-fuel metering system is used. While in closed loop, the powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the HO2S 1 signal and adjusts the fuel delivery based upon the HO2S signal voltage. A change made to fuel delivery will be indicated by the long-term and the short-term fuel trim (FT) values, which can be monitored with a scan tool. The ideal fuel trim values are approximately 0 percent. If the HO2S signals indicate a lean condition, the PCM will add fuel, resulting in fuel trim values that are more than 0 percent. If a rich condition is detected, the fuel trim values will be less than 0 percent, indicating that the PCM is reducing the amount of fuel delivered. If an excessively lean condition is detected, DTC P0171 will set .

The maximum authority of the PCM to control long-term FT allows a range between -23 percent and +16 percent. The maximum authority of the PCM to control the short-term FT allows a range between -11 percent and +20 percent. The PCM monitors the fuel trim during various operating conditions before determining the status of the fuel trim diagnostic. The fuel trim cells that are used in order to determine the fuel trim are as follows:

VIN K

* Idle, purge commanded
* Deceleration, purge commanded
* Normal driving, purge commanded
* Normal driving, no purge commanded
* Idle, no purge commanded

VIN 1

* Idle, purge commanded
* Normal driving, purge commanded
* High flow driving, purge commanded
* Normal driving, no purge commanded
* Idle, no purge commanded

You may need to operate the vehicle during all of the above conditions before the PCM determines fuel trim status. The amount that the fuel trim deviates from 0 percent in each cell and the amount that each cell is weighted directly affect whether or not the vehicle must be operated in all of the cells described above in order to complete the diagnostic.
Conditions for Running the DTC

* No VSS, TP sensor, EVAP system, HO2S, Misfire, IAT sensor, MAP sensor, Idle speed, Fuel Injectors, IC/Bypass, EGR Pintle, EGR Flow, ECT sensor CKP sensor CMP sensor, or MAF sensor DTCs are set.
* The engine coolant temperature is between 20

Not necesarily, I had this code before and it was because a vacuum hose to the throtle body was broken

Its not a vac hose its the 02 sensor your chasing problems by guessing go get the 02 and change it and call it done.

I had this code show up on my 97 GTP, it ended up being a leak in the EGR tubing that runs from the EGR valve to the LIM.

the scanner that parts stores use dont tell u whats bad they tell u where the system is finding the problem. take a can of throttle body cleaner and spray your vacuum lines. if the engine begins to race then u have a leak. spray around ur intake too u may have a leak there as well.
