Have you replaced your fuel filter recently?

OK...It's gone. P0171 IS NO LONGER...!!

Changed the fuel pump. Performed smoke test on intake system. After sitting overnight w/o battery, all caps discharged. Car is now state inspected!

I want to thank all of you for your help in chasing this long present (and mildly expensive) ghost.

Here's hoping your code doesn't return..

And I'm familiar with the smoke test, by the way. We had a smoke machine at my old shop.

The smoke test introduces a diagnostic smoke into the system being tested to find the leak: http://www.thesmokemachine.com/homepage.html Check out the FAQs section for more info..
