P0171 even after the the TSB ECU update

So I had the update done for the p0171 lean bank1 code

Anyone have any input on this code? The reflash was already done and seems like the code pops up when idling for awhile.

Thanks

Any update? My car has been having this code for about a year, but I just got it less than a month ago, so I don't want to spend a bunch of time/money at the dealer. I just got another code for the Throttle Sensor which is $120 to replace.

Car has been running like crap lately, doesn't pull any harder than my old i-4 Accord.

dont worry about it, i had same message like 1.5 ago. I dont think it is sensor problem, put best gasoline available and once in the injectors clening solution. And i dont think you will have same issue again. You car is not pulling right now because it is hot outside. TLS dont like to driven when it is hot outside.
