There are a couple of things this could be.
First, check to see if the rods connecting to the IMRC (Intake Manifold Runner Control) are connected. The little white clips easily brake off with age. You can find this just above the water pump, just under the upper intake manifold. The IMRC is bolted into the lower intake maifold with 3 bolts.
Second, buy the intake manifold and valve cover repair kit, and clean out the EGR ports when the upper intake is off. You'll see the small holes clogged with oil.
Also, I recommend changing the lower intake gaskets. Mine were leaking and decided to change them after I completed the upper intake and had to take everything apart a second time.

What are the probable causes of DTCs P0400, P0171, P0174 y P0302?

DTC code PO400 could be caused by a clogged EGR valve or EGR tube. try cleaning the EGR valve, tube
DTC code PO171 is fuel system too lean bank 1
DTC code PO174 is fuel system too lean Bank 2
Most likely suspects are O2 sensors, But can be caused by vacuum leaks and also can be Mass airflow sensor (MAF) try cleaning with electrical parts cleaner
DTC code PO 302 is a misfire at cylinder # 2
Check spark plugs and wires
Try cleaning the EGR Valve first along with changing the spark plug first, and see if any codes erase, in other words start with the cheaper fixes first, as some problems can be causing the other other codes

2012 Nissan Versa 1.6, after idling for a about 20 minutes (or while in heavy traffic) engine starts sputtering and eventually would stall. Would no start till cooled off. The following codes come up :...

P0171 and P0174 are telling you that each cylinder bank is running too lean. P0300 is telling you there is a misfire, possibly caused by the other codes. This is why the engine is running rough.

Diagonostic trouble codes reported p0171 p0174 p0302 2001 Taurus, only reports P0171

P0171 is system too lean bank 1, P0174 is too lean bank 2, and 302 is misfire bank 1. Look for vacuum leaks. If you don't find them, put a vacuum gage on it can check. The P0171 is almost always a vacuum leak. If not other possibilities are front O2 sensor is too old and should be replaced (if mileage is greater than 100k then replace). Try injector cleaner. Misfires are usually bad spark plugs, but could possibly be caused by insufficient fuel. I've never had a car of mine in bad enough shape to have that error.
