I have 2 codes that show up on my 98 lincoln navigator 5.4 L, , P0171, and P0174 Lean. Any Thoughts on what these could be, and any chance it could be the EGR stuck closed?
Mass air flow sensor is not the problem, I had the exact same problem and have done much research on this. Check the PVC rubber hoses, especially the elbows for cracks. You probably noticed your gas mileage has been horrible too. Hope this helps
O171 MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) Just try cleaning this part it usually solves that problem without having to buy new part.
0174 Both are mass air flow sensors. The other problem can be a vacuum leak Check PCV valave and all vacuum lines. Also make sure fuel filter and fuel pump are working correctly. You can clean the MAF with some brake cleaner make sure it is dry before you install it back
The egr would have to be stuck open to set lean codes. Check the pcv hose assy carefully much more likely
Mass air flow sensor
System Too Lean (Bank 2)
Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust.
Note: This DTC is very similar to P0171, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time.

Thanks.
