I am working on a 1996 Toyota Camry with a 3.0L V6 (1MZ-FE). After the Check Engine Light came on and there was a noticeable difference in the way the vehicle runs, especially on start up, I pulled the codes to find PO 302 306 171 100 and 110 stored. I began troubleshooting by replacing the spark plugs, clearing the codes and test driving the vehicle. There was a noticeable difference in the way the vehicle ran, however, the Check Engine Light tripped again. I pulled the codes again and came up with PO 171. I ended up installing a used MAF sensor I had on hand, cleared the code, test drove the vehicle and again had the Check Engine Light come on. I pulled the codes again and came up with PO 171, system to lean bank 1. I am not sure what the next step in the diagnosis process would be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. On a side note I noticed a small amount of oil in the intake hose between the MAF sensor and throttle body. Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Check for vacuum leaks. Check to make sure the injectors are working properly and fuel pump pressure is within spec. With an active / live scanner, watch the voltage changes from the O2 sensors to confirm they are within spec. A bad sensor could be causing a lean mixture. Great job on the other repairs. You are almost there.
