fuck where to start!o2 timing and vac but thats just me. all easy scan tool will tell u about the o2. timing easy to check no need to explain. as for vac leaks some brake parts cleaner.

My CEL was on when mine popped up. I replaced my secondary O2 sensor and that fixed the problem. A week later the code popped up for my Primary O2 sensor and replaced that one as well.

p0170 is a lean condition on bank 1. You only have one bank of cylinders so thats easy. Most common problem that throws this code is a clogged/old fuel filter.

I also forgot to mentio that at the same time I replaced my O2 sensor I also adjusted my valves. Check your compression/Leak down levels to see if one of them is out of specs. Could be a valve is too tight/loose. Tech book recommends this before other troubleshooting.
