My ford truck failed the smog test because bank 1 and 2 are to lean ( p0171 & p0174 )
possible solutions are, a dirty maf sensor. remove manifold air flow sensor and clean it with maf sensor cleaner. you can buy a can at any auto parts store to clean, take off and clean maf sensor, do not touch inside of sensor it is very fragil. when cleaning sensor be sure it is dry before installing it back on vehicle. also check for a vacuum hose leak downstream of maf sensor.make sure air filter is clean. this usually takes care of the problem. po171 and po174 are the same. you can use electrical cleaner to clean sensor also. also check for a dirty fuel filter and fuel pressure, if needbe.
