That is not a good fault code for that vehicle. (P0171) There is only one
upstream 02 sensor for that engine and it will not determine front and rear
lean/rich condition. Assuming that the engine is running good, (maybe a
slight hesitation) and you are looking for a repair without having it
properly diagnosed.....Replace the upstream 02 sensor. its probably the
original one anyhow.
