Here is what I got from the OBD codes in my library (check them out if you want). Kind-of a long list but may help.;)



P0171 - System to Lean (Bank 1) The Adaptive Fuel Strategy continuously monitors fuel delivery hardware. The test fails when the adaptive fuel tables reach a rich calibrated limit. Refer to Section 1 , Powertrain Control Software, Fuel Trim for more information.



Air Measurement System



MAF sensor (contaminated, damaged, malfunctioning, etc.)



Fuel System



Fuel pressure regulator (leaking, malfunctioning, etc.).

Fuel filter plugged, dirty.

Fuel pump (weak, check valve leaking, etc.).

Leaking/contaminated fuel injectors.

Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel.

EVAP canister purge valve leaking (when canister is "clean").

Fuel supply line restricted.

Fuel rail pressure sensor (incorrect reading).



Air Induction System



Air leaks after the MAF.

Vacuum Leaks.

PCV system (leak, valve stuck open, etc.)

Improperly seated engine oil dipstick.



Exhaust System



Exhaust leaks before or near the HO2Ss (exhaust manifold gasket, mating gaskets, etc.)..

EGR System

EGR valve tube/gasket leak

EVR solenoid vacuum leak

Secondary Air Injection

Damaged/malfunctioning secondary air injection system (mechanically stuck valve).



P0174 - System to Lean (Bank 2) The Adaptive Fuel Strategy continuously monitors the fuel delivery hardware. The test fails when the adaptive fuel tables reach a rich calibrated limit. Refer to Section 1 , Powertrain Control Software, Fuel Trim for more information.



See Possible Causes for DTC P0171.
