ODB code P0171 system to lean on bank 1 was told to change the O2 sensor. Will that take care of the problem?
Mine did the same thing, it turned out to be a vaccuum leak. $170 fixed it. I may have caused it by trying to use my car as a hovercraft to get out of a trapped position. Stomping it too hard in an emergency.

The most common problem on a Ford with these codes is deteriorated PCV hoses. Check the hoses from the PCV valve to the intake manifold. Pay special attention to the rubber elbows. They often crack on the inside curve and the crack is hard to see.

Generally when these codes appear it is due to insufficient fuel pressure. Test your fuel pump to ensure it is within specs. Have you changed your fuel filter?

Bank one is toward the front of the vehicle. Sounds like the heated oxygen sensors have gone bad. The Oxygen Sensors are located in the exhaust pipe and require a special socket to remove and replace.
SOURCE: Diagnostic Codes p0171 bank 1, and p0174 bank 2 (too lean)
Those codes are for the oxygen sensors, lean fuel mixture on both banks. Change them, problem with stalling and rough idle should go away.
P0171....System too Lean (Bank 1)
P0116....Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range/Performance Problem
right it means you have a faulty O2 sensor and i would imagine the one after the cat ,and the engine is running cold so its either a problem with no thermostat fitted or outside ambient temperature too cold and you will need to put a piece of cardboard in front of radiator to stop the air flow and the wind chill factor
