Question CEL Error Code

CEL Code from Auto Zone : Was *dun dun nu na sounds or w/e*

P0171 1 of 2
P0171 2 of 2

The PCM has determined that during testing
the fuel system for bank 1 was too lean,
( Bank 1 IDs the location of Cylinder #1,
While Bank 2 Identifies the Cylinders on the opposite bank)

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN....

The old guy at auto zone tried to tell me all different kinds of stuff then again when we were inside he was lookin up parts for an 84 Datsun, and then after that i told him it was an 06 Chevy, so it went to a 02 nissian, 02 chevy, to 06 chevy isnt in the system.. but he siad the error code is right!!

Its nothing bad, you're just running lean, too much air and nt enough gasoline. Its a typical CAI CEL, it should go away after some time

Like i said, Its just getting more air than it normally would, the computer doesnt know that you have a CAI, and basically, it thinks that your stock intake has something wrong with it.

I should go away within a few days, alot of people with CAI's will throw this code one time or another, its perfectly normal
