1999 Chevy 5.3L Auto with 150,000 or so miles. I've noticed it missing a little for a while and just figured it was time to do plugs and wires, so I wasn't too worried about. The check engine light is starting to come on and it will go off after a while. I finally got my hands on a scan tool when the light was on and it showed the P0171 code.

I know that this can mean a vacuum leak, MAF dirty or bad, fuel filter dirty, etc. My question is...what do you all think I should address first in trying to figure it out. Is there one thing that outweighs the rest when it comes to this?

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
