a p0171 is a lean code.......it is not the o2 sensor........i think it is the passenger side....look for a vacuum leak on that side of the engine

tha actrons are good........I have a codekey that i got at costcos for $20.........look for a broken or cracked vauum line on the passengers side ..........if you got a lean code for the other side also.you would suspect a MAF or fuel issue........but with just one code vacuum is most likely
