P0170 check engine light code

    Lately, whenever I go for a long drive, my check engine light has been
    coming on. It goes off again the next day, before I have a chance to check
    it out.

    However, today I was able to have it read at Auto Zone, and it said P0170
    (and the corresponding code for the 2nd bank). Both banks are low, whatever
    that means. The guy at Auto Zone suggested either replacing the fuel filter
    or the mass air flow sensor. The light went out again before I reached
    home.

    Since the light is going out, should I be concerned? Does his advice sound
    warranted? Thanks for any advice.
