    2007 Honda Civic EX CEL DTC P0171 (Fuel system too lean)
    I have a 2007 Honda Civic EX with an aftermarket cold air intake. CEL comes on with codes for DTC P0171 (fuel system too lean). I just bought the car used, and I am not the one who installed the intake. Honda said they won't do anything because it isn't stock, and they will only troubleshoot it if I install a stock intake and the light continues to come on (I don't have the original, nor do I feel like buying one). I've heard and read various things about how aftermarket intakes can throw off the MAF sensor. But I have also heard that it could just be a bad O2 sensor, dirty MAF sensor, or vacuum leak. The car doesn't seem to be running poorly, and I haven't even made it through a full tank of gas yet to determine my gas mileage. Could it be something with the computer? Any advice? Should I worry that my car is going to die prematurely? Appreciate the help!

One meaning shows "defective circuit or unplugged/defective fuel injector". I've had problems with my main relay this summer in the heat... could it be that? Just not sure what it means by that meaning on that 16 code.
