Default trouble code P0171

i have been getting the code P0171 thrown for the past couple weeks and i cant fingure out what it is...i kno its means lean condition but how is it fixed? i thought it could be the TB gasket since i didnt replace it when i removed it but i just replaced it with a new one and still have the problem

clean you MAF, change your fuel filter, make sure you air filter is in correct...and bank 1 is the right bank when you are looking at the car from the front
