I have a 98 Accord that is showing a P0171 (fuel system in Bank One too
lean) code, and also a P0170 (fuel compensation value for Bank One exceeded
the specified range).

These codes have come on intermittently, but usually go off after a day or
two. This time it is staying on longer.

Other symptoms: an occasional fuel smell, and earlier there was a
hesitation when I would accelerate from a stop (even once or twice bucking
and almost stalling).

Where should I start? I have heard vacuum lines, fuel injector, mass air
flow sensor, and lazy O2 sensor so far.

4 or 6 cylinder?

I doubt the fours have cylinder banks.

A 4 cylinder IS bank one. The code is the same whether it is a 4 or 6
cylinder. The diagnoses will be different depending on whether it is a 4 or
6 cylinder. So Steve, mind your own business.

If you're looking for a private conversation, you should look elsewhere
other than Usenet., assclown.

Now that we've established that I have a 4-cylinder and the location of bank
one, could someone please respond to my original question?
