The engine light came on my car. We scanned the car and codes P0170 & P0171 came up. Can you tell me what these codes mean? ... and what is my next step for a vehicle with almost 160K miles.

Thanks!

P0170 is fuel trim Bank 1 and P0171 is system too lean Bank 1. I have seen a clogged fuel filter cause this here is the location so you can check it out, also if the filter is new then I would check for vacuum leaks. Here are too guides that can help.

and use this guide when the engine is cold only.

If everything checks out I would replace the MAP sensor. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
