Hello, This code indicates you have problems with an O2 sensor. The sensor should be on Bank2 and should be the sensor closest to the exhaust manifold. Causing a lean condition.

Check your wire connector to this sensor and the wires leading from it. The defect is saying the heating circuit in this sensor is defective. This can mean the wires going to the sensor are burned or the connector is dirty. Or the sensor is just plain bad.

You can get your scans free at Autozone, Oreillys, or Advance and you may want to have them clear the code after your repair.

1998 ford 4.7l runs too lean po1151,po171,whats this mean and how too fix,hesitates when i punch it and back fires

Could be a bad mass air flow sensor. with the engine off unplug the sensor then test drive with sensor unplugged.(you can do this with almost all the sensors on this vehicle). It will replace the sensor data with a default parameter. If problem persists check fuel pressure.

1997 buick lesabre, engine light stays on

The are many things that can cause your "check engine" light to stay on. One possibility is that although you have fixed the trouble code for your crankshaft position sensor, the code has not been erased from the computer's memory. Another possibility is that you have another issue going on that is causing a new trouble code to come up. You're going to need to have your car hooked up to a ODB-2 engine code reader to see what the issue is. These code readers are available for purchase at any auto parts store. In addition, many of your local auto parts stores will check trouble codes as a free service to customer. If not, many parts retailers offer the option to rent one of these code readers. Which ever way you decide to go, run a full engine/emissions trouble code check. If the only code that comes up is the code that came up previous to fixing your positioning sensor, then all you need to do is erase the trouble code from the computer's memory. (Most code readers have the option to erase trouble codes, but if you're going to rent or buy one, I would suggest that you check to make sure that the code reader that you're getting is capable of erasing trouble codes as some code readers only indicate the codes and will not remove them from your computer's memory.) If your trouble code scan reveals other codes, then you'll have to fix and erase them as they arise.

FYI- In my experience, I've noticed that 95% of the time that a check engine light/trouble code arises that it is usually an emissions problem (oxygen sensors, mass air-flow units, MAP sensors, etc.). However, General Motors products are notorious for getting trouble codes for having loose battery/ground connections and for having worn-out fuel caps. With any GM vehicle, I always check these two things first to try to save me from having to look further than I need to.

Hope this helps! I'm sure once you've scanned your cars computer and erased any existing trouble codes, that you'll stop being annoyed by your check engine light, as I know how bothersome it can be. Have a great day!
