Not sure on the fault code but i would of said your best bet would be to have the code cleared and see how it runs or see if the same code comes up again. You dont know whats happened with the car and the previous owner so the part that has caused the problem could of been replaced already.
Get the codes cleared then take the car for a drive and see how it runs, then get the codes read again to see if anythings come back up.

Forge is a make, on occasions the springs inside can become tired and allow air to escape and cause issues.
As this just happend out of the blue I would suggest taking it to a specialist and getting them have a look as running lean is bad and can = new engine

P0171 can be caused by a faulty lambda sensor.
Its the one bolted in the exhaust manifold, swap it with a mates if you can to check as they are quite expensive.
If your car is a newage, I'm almost certain that was the cause of your engine warning light.
If it comes on again with the same code then have a look at that.
