Trouble code P0171 means: Fuel System Lean (Bank 1)
The "lean condition" code is set when the long-term fuel trim value reaches a certain setpoint, +14% if I remember right. Whatever is going on, the PCM thinks the car is running lean. It could be a faulty O2 sensor (or the wiring), a fault in one of the other sensors that are used for the fuel trim calculations (IAT, MAP, TPS, coolant temp, battery temp, rpm, or any of the wiring associated with those), or an actual lean condition caused by a problem with one of the fuel delivery devices (fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, fuel injector, or any of the wiring or tubing associated).
