Flavel Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Ok my engine warning light has come on again , the code is 0171 (system too lean) iv had this code come up before so I check it all out and turned one of my hoses come off the air intake, assuming that's what it was I fixed it cleared the code but now it's back, anyone with any help ideas to what it could be would be much appreciated, also I have rechecked all hoses and clamps all seem to be fine so now I'm lost Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434034-m35-engine-warning-light-0171-system-too-lean/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Probably the fuel reg vac line, they pop off constantly. I would be trying to cable tie the hoses both ends so it doesn't happen again. Can you hear a vac leak at idle?

Flavel Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks for the reply, iv checked all the lines that I find and follow they all appear to be fine, it's due for its 100000km service soon so hopefully they will pick up on what it is, and won't charge to much Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/434034-m35-engine-warning-light-0171-system-too-lean/#findComment-7089142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamhe77 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Did they change the fuel filter? (it is a section of the pump assembly in the fuel tank) If it hasn't been done, it may still be on it's original production line filter and might be quite clogged. Just a thought.

zelda Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, didn't want to start a new thread. Mine has the same code coming up. Vac lines replaced and cable tied. Car seems to run fine but don't want to go and blow it... However I want to change the fuel pump anyway, is there a write up on this?? Can't seem to find one for the life of me. Would be happy to take pics and do a write up if that is the case. So does anyone have a part number for the external filter? What's the best drop in pump to use and so on... Your wisdom is greatly appreciated as always.
