 That may be... but our town is full of paupers that can ill afford upscale
vehicles like Escorts.... We have to settle for working on lesser vehicles
like Excursions and SDs and lowly Explorers with little more than moonrooves
and DVD players for options.

 My service engine soon light came on. The code is to lean and it's at bank 1 with a code of PO171. Can you tell me what this means.
