My Daughter has an 06 equinox I changed the oil, oil filter, and air filter on last week. The check engine light is on now and Auto zone says it has Trouble Code (DTC) P0171. I saw on here where someone had this problem and it was the air intake pipe where it hooks into the back of the engine. The picture showed how to zip tie it to prevent from happening but how do you reach where it hooks in behind the engine.

That code is indicating a lean fuel mixture. The air intake shouldn't cause that unless air is getting in after the MAF. Have you checked for vacuum leaks?
