I have check engine sign on my 2000 RX 300 for two weeks. I scaned with Snapon advance scanner and it says code 0171 system too lean Bank # 1.
I read the explanations of this code in the book, it says MAF sensor, Catalyst, Oxygen sensor. One week before I clear the code and the check engine sign gone but came back after a week. Now I change the oxygen sensor on next to engine on top but one day later check engine sign came back. What should I do. Please help me about this.

But first get pending codes, I bet they are gonna be one or more of the following:
P1130, P1133, P1135 (Bank 1 A/F Sensor)
P1150, P1153, P1155 (Bank 2 A/F Sensor)
P0100, P0101 (MAF Sensor)
You also might get P0125

I have only one code 0171 nothing else. I also cleaned the maf sensor and changed the A/F sensor on bank 1 on the bottom of the engine. But I have the CEL again and the obd code 0171 only.

Check again, P0171 never comes alone. You have an OBD-II scanner? If not ask for PENDING codes.

clean the maf sensor and check for leaks. i had the same problem last year and i replaced the maf sensor, then two months ago i got P0174
System Too Lean (A/F Lean Malfunction, Bank 2) code i erased it an then the P0171 came back. so i also replaced the O2 sensor after the cat and havent gotten any more codes

clean your MAF sensor with throttle body cleaner, clean the seals, reinstall, check your accordion bend for cracks(part of the exhaust that bends by the driveshaft[if you have awd]), disconnect the negative terminal for about a minute and drive 100 miles, the time it takes for the computer to register anything. See if that helps. If that doesn't then you could have a faulty O2 sensor.

Like one of the members said earlier..
Jack ur car up...
Start IT
And check if you have any exhaust leaks...U might need a new gasket..
It's not a major repair if u do need one..
Gasket costs like 10 bux..and install is a DIY..but a shop wud do it too
