I have a 1998 Ford Contour that has a check engine light. I checked the codes, and found:

  • P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1)
  • P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2)
  • P0401 Insufficient EGR Flow
  • P1131 Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean - Bank No. 1

I think the main culprit might be a vacuum leak, and that the codes are related to the side effects caused by the leak. Are there any common hoses that I should check first? I remember we had two main hoses on BMWs that were usually the guilty party.

The problem did end up being the fuel pump. Checked wires and fuses, but in the end it was a bad pump. The filter was also replaced, and can probably be blamed for the pump failing.
