We drove our Winnie for many months with the 171/174 CEL w/o any performance or gas mileage issues. I agree with Airjer that you would have to have a really massive leak on those intake gaskets to kill the engine.
I would first clean or check the IAC valve, this will definitely kill the engine at idle if its not working properly and is a common failure item...
