A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
1) The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty. Note: The use of
"oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is
over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF
sensors leak the silicone potting material used to protect the
circuitry.
2) There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.
