Hey all,

I have the FSM's all downloaded. I've got code P0171 too lean bank 1 code. What are the proper steps to troubleshoot, to repair?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

UPDATE:

For now, let's ignore this post. Since researching this problem, I've noticed that the accordion-like hose on MAF, is completely torn and separated. The abundance of air MUST be coming from there!

All the best,

UPDATE:

Applied red duct tape to the MAF hose, sealing the tear, that went completely around the hose.

Started the Q45, and drove around the block. No more stalling. No more rough idle. Pure, smooth, powerful acceleration. Will replace the part, when I get my next commission check. Anyone need to sell a house in LA?

Knowledge is power!

All the best,
