Thanks

Since the car is more my project car, I found an engine out of a wrecked f25 which had only 5k miles on it. It cost me 5200 for the engine and 1000 for the turbo. Install was done by a horrible German car repair shop for 1900. It took 3 days and before I got out of the parking lot, the engine light came on.
I had to go behind them and secure 3 engine bolts that were just sitting there and then started working the P0171 error. I found 4 different vacuum leaks (usually the cause of this error) that were due to the repair shop either not plugging up a hose, or plugging it up incorrectly.
Together with coding all of the stuff that I had in it before, that's where I am with it.
The car runs great, even with the error.
Fun stuff.
