What causes engine code P0171?
A plugged Fuel Filter or poorly functioning Fuel Pump can set the P0171 code. The computer hears (accurately) from the Oxygen Sensor that the Fuel Mixture is too lean so the computer keeps increasing the amount of fuel being delivered into the combustion chambers.
How much does it cost to fix a P0171 code?
Perhaps your P0171 OBD-II Trouble Code: System Too Lean Bank 1 trouble code is appearing because it is due to you needing to replace your fuel injector/injectors. Generally, a fuel injector replacement cost will between $800 and $1,450 for a full replacement.
Can a dirty MAF sensor cause P0171?
Problems with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor causing the code P0171 are fairly common in many vehicles. Sometimes the mass air flow sensor just gets dirty and gives false air flow readings causing the engine to run lean.
What to do if your Subaru has a p0171 code?
If there are no intake leaks, the next step is to replace the air filter and clean the air flow meter. If the problem persists the front oxygen (O2) sensor may need to be replaced. The cost to diagnose the P0171 SUBARU code is 1.0 hour of labor.
What does p0171 system too lean Bank 1 mean?
P0171 SUBARU Tech Notes If the P0171 is combined with the P0174 code, it’s very likely that the problem is caused by an intake leak. If there are no intake leaks, the next step is to replace the air filter and clean the air flow meter. If the problem persists the front oxygen (O2) sensor may need to be replaced. What does this mean?
Why do I get p0171 on my ECU?
ECU seems to be correcting A/F by adding 25% extra fuel to make up for the system being lean. I’m no longer getting a MAF error after cleaning it but still getting P0171.
Why does my WRX have a lean condition?
As anybody with half a search function will find, many CAI’s for the WRX will cause a lean condition due in part to either relocation of the MAF, a differently sized diameter of piping, or purely increased flow of air which is not correctly compensated for.
