i have replaced many sensors and do not seem to have a vacuum leak. exhaust smell is really strong when heat is on. also have p0171 and p0174 lean on bank one and bank two. what could be causing all of this. i am only getting 8.5 mpg.

Hi truhnke, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

P0171/P0174 Lean conditions could be caused by one of the following

1.Vacuum leaks
2.EGR and PCV valve.
3.Low fuel pressure.
4.Dirty fuel injectors.
5.Mass Air Flow Sensor.
6.Oxygen Sensor.
