Lean fuel condition could be caused by one of the following below:

1. Vacuum leaks
2. EGR and PCV valve.
3. Low fuel pressure.
4. Dirty fuel injectors.
5. Mass Air Flow Sensor.
6. Oxygen Sensor.

The number 1 cause of the p0171 on the Tacoma is a dirty mass air flow sensor. If you remove the MAF and clean it with electrical contact cleaner--any other cleaner could damage it. Clean the inside and outside of the sensor. If you have a K&N filter (or any filter with a oil on it) get rid of it!
