Service Engine Soon-P0171

Well I got my codes checked today and it came up with code P0171. This code says the following: inspect fuel pressure or mass air flow sensor, oxygen sensor defective, ignition miss fire, or vacum leak,fuel injector problem.

Has anyone had this before? What should I do first?

Carefully clean the MAF. Oil from the K&N can contaminate the thin filaments. CAreful careful the filaments are delicate.

P0171 is left bank lean. meaning driver's side. mine was throwing P0171 and P0174 left and right bank lean. found the hose that connects the PCV to the intake just behind the TB on the passenger side had rotted ad was sucking air. pretty common. check there first.
