2001 GS300 PO0171 System too lean bank 1 Could be as simple as the gas tank cap not tightened properly or is worn/damaged so wont seal properly, allowing air to be sucked into the system. Try to turn the gas cap until it make the squeaking noise. Do it 3 times. If still have the P0171 problem, then check vacuum hoses for air leaks. Try to listen to where the hissing sound is coming from, or spray water on the hose and listen where water is sucked in, or blow a lot of smoke into one of the large air hoses hooked uop to the air intake box, then check where smoke is leaked out.
