Engine light came on. Had it checked and came out with P0171. What does this mean? My car has also had problems when taking of at a stop. Slow to take of when at a stop. Seems to have less power at ones as well.

Hello, I'm Danny.

This code means the engine is running lean. Unmetered air is being introduced into the engine by a leak causing this condition. I've attached picture diagnostic steps below for this code. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
