Long story short:

SES came on yesterday. Took it to Autozone. Something like P0171 (not exact, along those lines) and said "system too lean (bank 1)"

What could be the problem and whats the best way to fix it without going to the stealership??

 

bump....anyone?

 

Is anyone there? seriously...

 

I had the same codes a couple of years ago. They are for the front and rear O2 sensors. Try searching in the forums for theh explanation of the code to narrow down the problem. It's a fairly easy fix once you figure out which one it is.

 

hope you have better luck then I did, I am just driving around with my light on. sigh.. here's my thread I started awhile back. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=463600

 

Dealer says MAF

 

thats what a dealer and a mechanic told me too....... but they were WRONG, replaced it and two days later same code came back, it needed chaning anyway. But it didn't clear the code.
