My kia has failed emmission several times now with the codes P0170 and P1170. I know the first code has to deal with Fuel Trim on Bank 1 & 2 and no one can tell me what the second one is. What is this problem and what will it take to fix it.

P0171

A lean fuel condition can be caused by:

* Low fuel pressure due to a weak pump or leaky fuel pressure regulator. (Use a fuel pressure gauge to check fuel pressure at idle)

* Dirty fuel injectors. (Try cleaning the injectors)

* Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, vacuum hose connections or throttle body. (Use a vacuum gauge to check for low intake vacuum)

* Leaky EGR valve. (Check operation of EGR valve)

* Leaky PCV Valve or hose. (Check valve and hose connections)

* Dirty or defective Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF). (Try cleaning the MAF sensor wires or filament with aerosol electronics cleaner. Do NOT use anything else to clean the sensor, and do not touch the sensor wires)

P1170

You are the first one that has given me any answers to my questions and given me a direction to look in. Even a qualified mechanic could not tell me what the issue was with my car. Again thank you.
