Lean Code 0171 Check Engine Light
To simplify this code, you have too much air or not enough fuel on one bank only... (so the computer says).
You could
1. Smoke test your rover to see if you have a valve cover leak or any other vacuum leak.
2. Check to see your valve covers are properly torqued
3. Use a scan tool to look at fuel trims to see if that says anything.
4. Use a scan tool to look at your fuel pressure and your injector data....
5. Pull plugs and examine them - see if they give you any clues
6. Look at misfire counts on a scan tool - see if you learn anything....
None of these are likely the proper approach, but they can reveal some clues so you can zero in on your issue.
