So I’m dealing with these error codes P0171 and P0174 on my 2019 Toyota Tundra, and my check engine light is on. There’s a hesitation during takeoff too. It’s been like this for a while. Anyone have advice on what else I should try?
Those codes usually mean it’s running lean. Have you checked for any air leaks or fuel pressure issues?

Yeah, I’ve replaced the intake spark plugs, upstream sensors, and air filter. I also swapped the MAF sensor about a year ago, but no luck finding any vacuum leaks.
@Ashby
If there’s no leaks, maybe try checking the fuel trim? It might tell you if it’s actually running lean.
Did you check the PCV valve and hose connections? Those can sometimes cause lean conditions if they’re not sealed right.

Not yet, that’s a good point. I’ll look into it and see if there’s anything loose.
Did you check the fuel trim readings? I know it helps to use live data if you have access to it.

I don’t have live data on my setup, unfortunately. I do have some freeze frame data, though.
@Ashby
Gotcha. What’s the fuel trim like in your freeze frame?

Longft1 is at 23.4% and Longft2 is at 33.6%. Not sure what else I can do with that info.
If you’re still seeing lean codes, maybe check the injectors or fuel pump. Low fuel pressure can mess with the air-fuel ratio.

Yeah, I might have to go that route. Not looking forward to taking the fuel tank off, though.
@Ashby
Totally get that, but it might give you some answers. If the pressure’s low, it’s probably time to look at the pump.
Could different O2 sensors make a difference? Like if they’re not an exact match?

Funny you mention that! I replaced them with Denso sensors. It worked fine for a few days, but then the codes came back once the engine warmed up.
@Ashby
That’s odd… did you replace both at the same time? Maybe one was just a bit off?

Yeah, both were swapped at the same time. Guess it’s unlikely both new ones would have the same issue.
Did you ever run a smoke test? Sometimes leaks are hard to spot without one.

I did a smoke test, but didn’t find any leaks. Might be time to check out the injectors or fuel pump.
Any chance it could be the intake manifold? If there’s a crack or something, that could explain the lean codes.
