Default Whats the best way to deal with a p0174 code?

I I have a 2006 f150 5.4l with 158,000 miles. The p0174 code showed up on my edge while I felt some shuddering in my truck while driving. I'm used to the shuddering but it finally threw a code but no Cel. What are some possible problems and quick fixes. Only mods are a k&n 77 series intake and edge evolution programmer. Thanks guys.

did you disconnected the battery for 30 minutes or 10 with the headlights on to allow the computer to reset and accommodate to the different intake?

That's a lean code; find the vacuum leak. The elbow on the back of the intake, PCV hose, and intake manifold gaskets are common culprits. we see those failures on a regular basis.
If you don't have any luck finding it, have a shop do a smoke test; it will find even the smallest ones. Should cost about a $100 to have it checked out.

I haven't disconnected the battery but I will. And how exactly do I check for leaks?
