I recently put a cold air intake on my 2006 Toyota Corolla and then I got a code po171 which is a lean problem does anyone know how I can fix this and still keep my intake on

What size is the intake piping? Are there any bends close to the MAF? Toyota MAFs are very sensitive to changes in airflow

100% the issue, 3" is way too big for the stock MAF/ECU and will throw the readings way off. Proper ZZ CAIs should have the pipe neck-down where the MAF mounts to the correct pipe size (stock or close to stock), same thing occurs on the 2ZR.

You can make your own. Just measure the stock ID and find a pipe the same. Or use the stock box and cut to fit.

You just need a length of about 4-5” inches where the sensor is installed. The rest of the piping can be 3” or 2.75”. A reduction on the throttle body side. This is how the Injen is made.
