2011 Corsa 1.4 SRI P0171

Recommended Posts

bought this last week and it seemed to be a lovely little car, on the drive home it put the spanner light on and seemed to have a miss/hesitation, called surecheck and as usual its not covered, we scanned the code and got back P0171 System Too Lean ' BANK 1, anyway cleared the code and it hasn't come back but the miss is still there

Anyone come across this before we start throwing parts at it?

Sounds more like an air leak on the intake manifold somewhere. Squirt a bit of brake cleaner around the intake manifold and see if it makes the engine note change, if the engine suddenly changes note then you have an air leak creating a lean mixture. The engine light will not reappear immediately following being cleared, it will monitor the lambda for a number of miles and then throw the light back on once it has determined it is still running lean. 

Hope this helps
