Sensors come in different qualities and pricings. Some cheap ones made in Mexico fail in a few days. Always buy OEM quality sensors.
Your code is incorrect fuel mixture, sensor says running lean so it is dumping extra fuel.

The code is thrown when the oxygen sensors detect that there's not enough oxygen in the exhaust system. This is commonly referred to as a "lean" condition.
The vehicle's ECM will add more fuel to the mixture in order to bring the air fuel mixture where it needs to be for optimal combustion. It also throws the code P0171 to let you know that it has done this.
Here are the typical symptoms that something is wrong when you have code P0171.
- Mileage- may or may not suffer depending on how much the air fuel mixture has changed.
- Misfire- If the air fuel mixture has gotten too far from factory specs, this can cause the Sentra to misfire.
- Idle Issues- With the air/fuel mixture altered, the vehicle can idle erratically as the computer compensates to keep the engine running.
