The surging idle is likely a separate problem. For that, clean the IACV, bleed the cooling system, and check the IM and TB gaskets.

P0171 - check for a clogged fuel filter or an exhaust leak.

Replace it or measure the fuel pressure.

check your intake manifold gasket. had this problem before and thats what it wound up being. the other thing to do since its running lean, is simply change the fuel filter.
