The van has been starting rough in the mornings -- seems to be just when it's a little cold outside. It's been running fine, but upon starting it up in the mornings, if we just leave it running while putting the kids in their car seat, it sounds like it's trying to die unless we give it some gas via the accelerator. The Auto Zone people said the "system was too lean in Bank one." I have also seen step-by-step instructions with pictures as to how to resolve this issue with the PO174 code as well, but I'm really desperate to find out what to do about JUST the PO171 code on a 98 model. Please, please help!!! Single-car family!!! FYI: Please talk as if you're talking to a novice if/when any of you auto geniuses respond. We're new at this and are hoping for step-by-step instructions, but aside from knowing what the battery looks like and a few of the regular maintenance items under the hood, it's all new to us!....
