A P0171 code indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a lean fuel condition in Bank 1 of the engine, meaning there is too much air or not enough fuel in the air-fuel mixture. This can be caused by issues such as a vacuum leak, a malfunctioning mass air flow (MAF) sensor, clogged fuel injectors, or a failing fuel pump. Addressing the underlying cause is essential to ensure optimal engine performance and prevent potential damage.

Bank 1 system to lean. I would suspect a vacuum leak. Check under the hood for a disconnected or cracked vacuum line.
first try cleaning your mass air flow sensor.
