P0171 CEL - My turn on the cracked elbow

[Alan Peters]

I've noticed a rough idle and sluggish recently but haven't had an ouch of time to look at it. However, the CEL went off and sure enough, if you open the hood you can hear a hissing sound (like a tire deflating) and sure enough the top side of the elbow is cracked frm joint to joint.



My question, since the code was P0171 only, is the cracked elbow my only problem? Or do I have another ongoing issue? I think the code reads Bank 1 issue or vacuum issue.



Any thoughts?

The elbow is hooked to the intake @ bank 1. Most likly the only problem.
