My check engine light comes on, and when it was scanned to figure out why the light came on, I got the codes 171 and 441. What are these codes?

Unless there is an obvious problem No! What you can do is go to any automotive supply store and get any kind of fuel injector cleaner that pours into your gas tank. You could do it one a month or whatever you feel is necessary.

My car is consuming too much fuel..any advise?

Your fuel pump might be broken, or something with the fuel injection system.
I checked the internet, and I see a lot of 2005 Toyota Corolla's have fuel consumption problems.

So, check that with some mechanic, or if you are 100% that is fuel pump you can change it yourself.

Toyotacorolla 2007

The electronic fuel injection system in your 2007 Toyota Corolla is an extremely technologically advanced, computer controlled, engine fueling system that consists of hundreds of parts, sensors, solenoids, relays and electrical circuits. It also consists of a computer-controlled pump as well as high-pressure lines and fittings that deliver the fuel from the fuel tank to the injectors. The computer system that controlls your fuel injection system has nearly 100,000 times the computing ability of the computers that were on the Apollo space craft that put put man on the moon.
To say something as simple as "fuel injection problem" and expect a viable "solution" for your problem is like saying "water problem" at Niagra Falls and expecting somebody to fix it for you.

What kind of "fuel injection" problem? Have you tried interfacing with the computer that controls your fuel injection system? If so, what did it tell you? If not, that would be a real good place to start.

I got a 1998 model TOYOTA TAZZ 130i whe i start it it would not want to idle?

If it is a Carburettor model you need to check if the earth wire to the carb is connected, and if the idling valve on the carb is working and getting power.Also check if the idling jet is not blocked in the carb.If it is fuel injection make sure all the wire,s for the fuel injection system is connected especially the earth wire's. Also check that the throttle body is clean.

My 1984 toyota corolla ran out of gas now it wont idle

Quick explanation of your fuel system:

An automotive fuel system consists of everything between the fuel tank and the carburetor or fuel injection unit. This includes the tank itself, all the lines, one or more fuel filters, a fuel pump (mechanical, electric, or both), and the carburetor or fuel injection unit.
With the exception of the carburetor or fuel injection unit, the fuel system is quite simple in operation. Fuel is drawn or pumped from the tank through the fuel line by the fuel pump, which forces it through the fuel filter, and from there to the carburetor/injection unit where it is distributed to the cylinders.

So with that info...try first to clean your spark plugs.
Next, replace your fuel filter.
After that, depending on a carburetor/fuel injection, try an additive that cleans the injectors. For the carburetor, try a half of can of what is called "Seafoam". It comes in a metal can available everywhere, including Walmart. It is worth the $6-8 and also will "dry" out your fuel from water. Very good product.

After that, get back to us and let us know how your Toyota is running.
