P0171 and 174 System Too Lean
Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in banks 1 and 2 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust).
These codes 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.
•In the vast majority of cases, simply cleaning the MAF sensor does the trick. Consult your service manual for it's location if you need help. I find it's best to take it off and spray it with electronics cleaner or brake cleaner. Make sure you are careful not to damage the MAF sensor, and make sure it's dry before reinstalling.
•Inspect all vacuum and PCV hoses, replace if necessary
•Check for a dirty fuel filter and proper fuel pressure
P0358 Ignition Coil H Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction
Code P0358 is for cylinder #8.
Inspect the spark plug, coil, and coil boot on that cylinder for signs of damage. Replace as needed.
If no problems are found with the components, check the wiring harness from the coil to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
Potential Causes: Failed coil or boot
Failed spark plug
Harness problem
0171 system too lean bank 1. Thats where spark plug numbert 1 is. 0174 system to lean bank 2. Thats the opposite side{go figure} This actually means the system is running to rich. 0358 ignition coil H primary or secondary circuit failure. Is the truck miss firing? 4.6 or 5.4? Does it have seperate coils or two cil packs? Sounds like you need to tune it up. You may also have a bad coil. depending on what you have
