Report: Lean Mass Air Flow Sensor Causing Code P0170
Toyota Tacoma Problem
Model Years Affected: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999
Average Mileage: 140,000 mi (110,000 mi - 170,000 mi)
Occasionally, the mass air flow sensor can go lean and set a code P0170 for fuel system lean. This in not an oxygen sensor problem. If there are no vacuum leaks, the mass air flow sensor may need to be replaced. Our technicians remind us to use a factory part because the aftermarket rebuilds are very inconsistent.

Mine did this. Cleaned it with a can of spray injector cleaner. Warning. Spray softly, mass air flow sensor has very fine wire elements in it that can be damaged.
