Car starts and dies immediately. P0171 (too lean)

Hi guys, I'm hoping somebody has some advice on my issue.

Basic background: 2014 FRS, totally stock. Around 55,000 miles. ~8 month old battery. No issues previously.

I drove the car home from work on Thursday, got gas near my office (93 octane of course), drove the rest of the way home (~20 miles) and everything was totally normal. I didn't drive anywhere yesterday.

Half an hour ago I hopped in the car to go somewhere. It cranked fine, started for an instant then it sputtered out and died. I tried a couple more times with similar results. Once it hung on a little longer and the engine sounded really rough and the car started shaking before dying.

I plugged in my OBDII reader and got one Pending Fault code P0171: Powertrain System too lean (Bank 1).

Searching around it looks like a lot of people getting this error code have custom tunings or forced induction, which isn't the case for me.

Any ideas? Anybody seen anything similar?
