Why were the supercharger and LIM gaskets replaced and with your low mileage? The P0171 DTC is one of the worst to get and may involve alot of controlled substitution of suspected parts and diagnostics.

At least on the front valve cover gasket you can now get that replaced free of charge.

Thanks for your reply.

Upon taking my car because of it misfiring.
They inspected it.
1.) MAF sensor was replaced due to it being defective.
2.) #1 coil was replaced, cause of misfire.
3.) Supercharger gasket was leaking coolant
4.) LIM gasket was leaking
