P0171 (M) 1/1 Fuel System Lean A lean air/fuel mixture has been indicated by an abnormally rich correction factor.

hmmm......could this be a result of timing error?

 

[deverhart]

most certainly, trying advancing it a little bit see if that make it go away.. or does it need to be retarded... I said retarded!

 

[khenderson]

does this give me a good excuse to go and buy a timing light?

 

[deverhart]

do you REALLY need an excuse to go buy tools?
