Where did you buy the parts at? 171 and 174 are O2 sensor codes, the others arn't important, to get the back head O2 sensor out you have to drop the front of the motor, and you need an O2 socket and a wabble extension, to drop the cradle you need a jack, 15 or 18 mm socket, impact gun, remove plastic splash guard underneath car and take out the 2 frt carriage bolts, jack the car up by the driverside door, not on the cradle, the frt of the engine will drop down some, then you can see the back O2 sensor, buy GM O2 sensors

P0171 - System Too Lean (Bank 1) - History
P0174 - System Too Lean (Bank 2) - Current

The other codes have nothing to do with the oxygen sensor so please start a new thread for the other codes individually. Be sure to clear the codes after the repair. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
