Check for loos connections between the intake and the tube from the air filter. Check if the clamp is loose or leaks in the tube which can cause an incorrect reading. Other than that it may be a dirty MAF sensor which can be fixed by spraying carb cleaning or tuner spray in the intake or it may be bad or a bad oxygen sensor;.

SOURCE: PO171 error code System too lean bank 1

Here are some possible causes, I would start with anything related to replacing the intake.

Air leaks in intake manifold, exhaust pipes or exhaust manifold
Fuel control sensor is out of calibration
Low fuel pressure (fuel filter clogged, pressure regulator failure)
One or more injectors restricted or pressure regulator has failed
O2 sensors contaminated, deteriorated or has failed
Vacuum hose is disconnected, broken, leaking or loose

I don't have a diagram but they are under your intake manifold. It's not to bad of a job. You don't have to remove the fuel rails or the injectors, they can come up with the intake. The #2 knock sensor is the one in the rear. I will suggest getting both of them and also the harness and do it all while you have it apart. I believe you will find that water has gotten down in the hole where the knock sensors are located. Make sure to clean it out very good with compressed air before you install your new knock sensors.

A scanner reading- P0171 system too lean bank 1 code is the MAF sensor.
The MAF sensor should be replaced. It is a fairly easy fix and relatively inexpensive. If you are running too lean on one bank, it is more than likely the MAF.
Let me know if this helps and if not I will try to help you farther.

What does it mean when your bank 1 n bank 2 are running lean

A lean bank 1 and 2 is indicating there is not enough fuel being injected to support proper combustion.
Leading causes can include but are not limited to......
1) low fuel pressure or plugged fuel filter.
2) vacuum leak causing lean condition.
3) air intake hose or crank case not sealed properly and bypassing the MAF sensor or the MAF sensor element is dirty.
4) wrong fuel or poor quality fuel used.
Hope this helps. If the Service Engine Soon light is illuminated, there will be fault codes associated the light. Get the vehicle scanned for free at your local Auto Zone or Advanced Auto and report back.

It could be that your knock sensor circuit is working perfectly.You may have a knock that it is reading for long periods.
Try running it disconnected, and see if there is a clatter or knock when accelerating lightly.

You could have a vacuum leak.
