Sounds like you have low fuel supply or a leak in intake system causing lean codes, check fuek pressure and volume first. Cat converter effeciancy could be caused by the lean codes, purge system sounds like solenoid failure, check for high resistance accross purge vent solenoid.

PO171

P0171 - Fuel Trim System Lean Bank 1
YOU WILL NEED TO AVE THE DEALER TEST THE O2 SENSOR FOR PROPER SWITCHING, RIGHT NOW IT SHOWS ALWAYS LEAN, THIS MAY BE THE SENSOR OR THE ENGINE MAY REALLY BE LEAN ON FUEL AIR RATIO, AS FAR AS THE SMOKE GOES THE 2 ARE PROBABLY NOT RELATED, HOW MANY MILES ON CAR? IF THE MILES ARE HIGH THEN REPLACE THE O2 SENSOR ON THE CYLINDER BANK WHERE # 1 CYLINDER IS LOCATED, THE SENSOR IS THE ONE BEFORE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
