Re: '98 3.8L Check Engine Light P0174

Don't change the O2 sensor just yet.

P174 Indicates a lean condition on one of the two banks (P171 is the sister code for the other bank).

It could be an O2 sensor but it could actually be a lean condition due to an intake leak or a faulty Fuel injector.

It could also be that the 171 code is waiting to appear or you have low fuel pressure.

Investigate a litlle more. I think O2 sensors are blamed far too often usually they are only the messengers.
