My 2001 Corolla displays P0171 after it idles for a minute or two. If I drive it hesitates (especially under hard acceleration) and starts also displaying P0300, P0301, and P0302. If I clear the codes and again allow it to idle for 1-2 minutes it again displayes P0171. Idle is smooth the whole time (at least after it's warmed up). Lastly, it cranks too long when starting, especially when the engine is still cold.

Po171 is lean on bank 1--===causes --MAF/VAF sensors --injectors ---HO2S (heated oxygen sensor)
po300 is random misfires and po301, 2, 3 4 5 6 etc is the cylinder that is misfiring
most likely that the fuel pressure is below the required pressure either from the pump or blocked filter or the tank not venting properly--- (EVAP) problem
check the fuel pressure ( minimum of 45-65psi) --problem pressure regulator , pump or filter
replace the heated oxygen sensor on bank 1 ( in the exhaust manifold before the cat converter) as it reports to the ECM to get the correct air/fuel mix

SOURCE: V6 engine idles rough after restarting, then smooths out

My first guess would be a dirty carb/fuel injector set. Run some fuel cleaner through the tank and see if it gets better. You might have to do it through a couple of tanksful. How long since you've had a tune-up? It might just be that time.

SOURCE: 12 codes; 90174, p0171, p0175,p0300,p0301, p0302,

90174 (guessing it should be p0174 = system too lean)
92198 (guessing it should be p2198 = Oxygen Sensor Stuck Too Lean / Rich)

p0171, p0175 = system too lean (usually related to MAF Sensor)
p0301= Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected (Coil related most likely)
p0302 = Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected (Coil related most likely)
p0303 = Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected (Coil related most likely)
p0316 = Cylinder Misfire Detected (Coil related most likely)
p0420 = Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold
p2195, p2196 = Oxygen Sensor Stuck Too Lean / Rich (most likely the rubber hose from valve cover to throttle body

You may want to have your MAF changed, Coils changed, and your O2 Sensor checked. Also any one of those faults can also trigger another fault. I.E your O2 sensor could be could, but since it's misfiring, it's being triggered because the exhaust gases aren't what it should be. Hope this helps


Testimonial: "Thanks, you was very helpful. Since I got the codes the engine lock up on me. The car light comes on but the car would not start. I had it towed. "

SOURCE: O2 Sensor Problem?

yes an o2 sensor can cause those symptoms so can a minor vacuum leak --bad ignition wire -clogging fuel filter --sticking egr valve etc.

P0308 code intermintently pops up can i pass smog

  • Check Engine Lightflashing
  • Rough running, hesitation, and/or jerking when accelerating
  • In most cases, there are no adverse conditions noticed by the driver
  • In some cases, there may be performance problems, such as dying at stop signs or rough idling, hesitation, misfires or lack of power (especially during acceleration), and a decrease in fuel economy

My 1991 Toyota Corolla drives fine and then suddenly it starts to hesitate.

mine did the same thing and it was oxygen sensor
since engine light came on there should be an error code
on computer.Get a diagnostic checker or take to a garage and have them hook uo to the diag connector. I bought a diagnostic checker few years ago and it has come in very handy
sure hope this helps!!

What is engine code P0171 for 2005 Toyota corolla?

What does that mean? Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 1 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 1 is the side of the engine that has cylinder #1.
Note: This DTC is very similar to P0174, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time.
Symptoms You will more than likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a lack of power, detonation (spark knock), and/or a hesitation/surge on acceleration.
Causes A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • 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.
  • There could be a vacuum leak downstream of the MAF sensor.

Accelerator needs pumping 3 times to start when cold engine low on power engine suffocates and jerks under full throttle, especially when cold sometimes emits a black smoke when being run hard.

Yeah, you have a blaster, I means a leaky oil valve seal and when turning it of after driving you can rev the engine up a bit then immediately turn ignition off, this will leave enough fuel in fuel line when started the next day. Good?

Check engine light on a 2001 Toyota Corolla

No need to replace the MAF. If it was bad, the check engine light would have come right back on as soon as you started the engine. The MAF not only measures the air going into the engine, but also measures the air temperature. Those 2 circuits are constantly sending info the the ECU. If either would fail, the ECU would light the check engine light. P0171 is a common code for incorrect readings (dirty) in the MAF. Cleaning it always helps, and cuts off the light. Your acceleration problem may be either a wrong Air-Fuel sensor (the one before the cat), or an "aftermarket" AF sensor. "Aftermarket" AF sensors have been shown to not work properly in Toyota vehicles. Hope this helps

Another problem on my 2001 Toyota Corolla - P0171 system too lean

If you had a bad MAF, the check engine light would have come on instantly. Replacing the MAF will NOT cure your issue. P-0171 is a common code, and cleaning it always eliminates the P-0171. Regarding the sensor, there are 2 different ones, and they do NOT interchange. If your body shop put in an "aftermarket" air-fuel sensor (the one closest to the engine), you can expect hesitation issues.
