98 Contour 171 fault code

scambron opined in news: snipped-for-privacy@NEWS.CHESAPEAKE.NET:

Welcome to the "biters" club! You shot the messenger.

Who told you to replace that sensor? It was only reporting a problem elsewhere, and to make matters worse... you dont even SEEM to understand the code definition as you LEFT OUT THE KEY WORD!!!!!

WHEN did the CEL come on...I mean what was happening at the time.

And, here's a hint.. your engine doesnt have a bank 2. But many engines do.

I suggest you either read up in a hurry - Library, author: Probst- or take your car to a competent shop

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0171 bank 1 (Cylinder 1) and DTC P0174 bank

2 indicate the fuel/air ratio is too lean. The fuel trim system is at the rich correction limit.

That basicly means you probably have a vacuum leak some were. it is not a o2 sensor fault

Check with a spray bottle filled with water and spray at the intake manifold and surrounding areas to see if it start to run differently. Also check al the hoses and connectors on the intake manifold.
