    P0171 - System too lean: what can cause this?

    i just had the same code. im pretty sure i had the pcv (i think that was the part) leak and i fixed that. but i had the code come up again. the weird thing is if i have my car in park while idling the car will shut off has anyone heard of anything like that happening, because of a vacuum leak.
