Vacuum leak on that bank due to damaged/loose connection of a vacuum hose to sensors or intake gasket on that side being the worst.

The mass air flow sensor could be dirty, or the oxygen sensor, the one closer to the exhaust manifold ( referred to as the upstream sensor) may be faulty. It's just screwed into the exhaust pipe, some are hard to get at.
The mass air flow sensor is in that black air intake tube that goes from the the air breather to the throttle body. The best thing to use to clean it, is a spray can of electronic cleaner.
If that doesn't cure the problem, then change the 02 sensor (oxygen sensor).

I have two engine codes 171 and 174 engine is running fine how do i repair them

Well code 171 is telling you the fuel mixture is too lean for bank one and code 174 is too lean bank two.
So the most common cause is low fuel pressure.

2005 expedition code p0171 and p0174

Code 171 is for the fuel system being too lean on bank one, and code 174 is for the same thing on bank two.
Generally the computer can not open the injectors long enough to make the system go rich.
The most common cause is low fuel pressure or a clogged fuel filter.

Try some injector cleaner in order to see if the lean condition improves. Lean conditions can sometimes be caused by o2 sensors or other sensors that are not within specifications.
