My 2000 Ford Windstar just failed emissions (passed inspection with flying colors) The following codes were given as reason why:

P0401: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected
P0171: System too lean: (Bank 1)
P0174: System too lean: (Bank 2)

I have three questions:

1) What to do the codes mean in layman's terms?
2) How expensive are the fixes and what do they involve?
3) Are there any ways around this, to get it to pass emissions without spending too much money?

Thanks,

Ashley
