"P0171 Check Code on 1998 Dodge Neon"

Red 1998 Dodge Neon Right View

I have an 1998 Dodge Neon SOHC with 5 speed transmission. I have a scan tool and I checked for a code when the check engine light came on.The code is a P0171 and it says its running lean. My Dodge Neon is bucking and jerking when accelerating at slow speeds and misses and lacks power at cruising speeds. The car is getting poor fuel mileage and the exhaust smells very bad. What could be causing my problem?
Answer: It might be vacuum leak cause lean condition. Check vacuum hoses and around the intake. Hope it help.
