P0170 - Fuel Trim Malfunction-Bank 1
P0171 - Fuel Trim, system too lean-Bank 1
P0173 - Fuel Trim Malfunction-Bank 2
P0174 - Fuel trim, system too lean-Bank 2

These codes are most likely caused by a bad MAF sensor or a major air leak. Could also be caused by bad O2 sensors.

couldn't it be a fuse?

i really have no idea, this isn't my area of expertise, and im nervous to do it myself. I would be really happy if it was just a fuse, but for some reason i doubt it is.
