You need the vehicle diagnosed by an auto electrician with a professional scan tool computer. It will monitor all the sensors and especially the MAF and Short Term fuel Trim. It is far more cost effective to pay him for an hour that guessing on parts to replace like the fuel pump and filter.
It's not the sensor , check the FPDM - fuel pump driver module. Watch these videos . Voltage drop test the electrical circuits , check scan data etc....
p0171 is the code for system too lean bank 1. possible causes intake/exhaust leak--air system maf/vaf sensor-fuel pressure--manifold regulator/ pump--injectors Ho2s Check for leaking rubber hoses. Have a fuel pressure test done and replace the sensor.
you may need to change the fuel pump,take a piece of wood and wrap the tank a few times,try it,if it runs for a while--its not fixed!!..then replace the pump because it could go all the way out at any time.
CODE PO171 -SYSTEM ADAPTIVE FUEL TOO LEAN. POSSIBLE CAUSE.AIR LEAKS AFTER THE MAF SENSOR OR LEAKS IN THE PVC SYSTEM. EXHAUST LEAKS BEFORE OR NEAR WHERE THE HO2S IS MOUNTED. FUEL INJECTORS RESTRICTED OR NOT SUPPLYING ENOUGH FUEL. FUEL PUMP WEAK. LEAKING EGR VALVE GASKET OR DIAPHRAGM.MAF SENSOR DIRTY CAUSES PCM TO UNDERESTIMATE AIR FLOW / NOW THE BANK 1 SENSOR ITS MOUNTED IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM BEFORE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.THE BANK 2 SENSOR IS IN EXHAUST AFTER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
it is probably the MAFS, the MAFS tells the computer how much air is coming in and if it is bad the ECU will not be able to work properly, it is an integral part of the system,
one way to check the MAFS is to unplug it and try to start the vehicle, if the problem is better then replace the MAFS
Edit: also try to clean the MAFS with brake cleaner, sometimes dirt and oil will cause a MAFS to act up, it may be hard to get to the sensor wires but if you take the MAFS all the way off of the vehicle and just spray the unit down well you should be able to clean any larger debris off of the sensor wire
