I got the P0171 code on my car today, it says the fuel system for bank 1 was too lean. What does that mean? Also how do i fix it?
Thanks,

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. For lean and rich DTCs:
Fuel system

Excessive fuel pressure. i doubt it on a focus

Leaking/contaminated fuel injectors. mayby

Leaking fuel pressure regulator. we aint got one

Low fuel pressure or running out of fuel. could be, any other problems?

Vapor recovery system. nah

Induction system:

Air leaks after the MAF. do you have an air leak after the maf?

Vacuum Leaks. do you have a vacuume leak?

PCV system. mayby your pcv need to be replaced? take it out and shake it. if it rattles its good. i think

Improperly seated engine oil dipstick. fix dat [censored] man

EGR system:
Leaking gasket. doubt it

Stuck EGR valve. nah

Leaking diaphragm or EVR. huh?

Base Engine:
Oil overfill. check it foo

Cam timing. did you f*** with your cams?

Cylinder compression. does it run smoth? take a compression test

Exhaust leaks before or near the HO2Ss. do you have an exhaust leak?

A SHRTFT-1,2 PID value between -25% to +35% and a LONGFT-1,2 PID value between -35% to +35% is acceptable. Reading beyond these values indicate a failure.
dont worry about this unless you have a wds or scan tool

or just beleive your friendly ford tech and replace that o2. but i would sugest checking that stuff mentioned as well
