The truck idles fine but when I accerate slowly****** and almost sounds like the engine is floodiing then it sputters and pops. If I put the pedal to the floor it goes, but accelerating normally or going a under 50mph it sputters and pops. Check engine light codes are P0171 and P0172. Please help

Running to lean. If it was rich blackish smoke would come from tail pipe.
