Code P0171 and Leaking underneath
#11
Ok wasn't leaking out of the fuel test port. But I had to cave and take it to a mechanic cause I'm out of time (starting new job). He just called and said its the o2 sensor that is affecting gas mileage and making it run rough? Does that sound right? I know that's not the leaking part tho he is looking for that as we speak.
If it is the o2 sensor how hard are they to replace if you never done one before? Need any special tools?

A dead O2 sensor can cause poor mileage and rough running. The PCM is applying maximum pulse width, (full rich) to all 3 injectors on the driver side. Not difficult at all to replace. Drive it and get it hot, un plug & unscrew it. Some of the auto parts stores rent oxygen sensor sockets, if you need it.
