Re: 2001 grand prix gt 3800

could be a faulty injector leaking, you can switch the injector to another location and see if the lean condition moves.

Re: 2001 grand prix gt 3800

Basically this means that your oxygen sensor in bank 1 "Pre Cat" detected a lean condition. Could be a number of issues or a bad 02 sensor causing your SES to activate.
Hopefully some others can weigh in and offer possible solutions.

Re: 2001 grand prix gt 3800

Sorry, but I don't see how moving an injector will help in diagnosis of P0171? If it is an injector, the code still sets, so how does that help?

As Jonjon said, this means the pre O2 sensor is seeing a lean condition.....this could be caused by a number of things: vac leak, exhaust leak, bad MAF, bad/contaminated O2 sensor or O2 sensor wiring, low fuel pressure, fuel injector, etc.
