A code P0171 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.
Id start there. Do it yourself, its cheaper and so much more rewarding. Im sure there will be an install day coming up soon. Get the parts and bring it. Or if youre in the city, Id be happy to help replace it.
