I have a 2001 Dodge Dakota 4.7L. i am getting all the subject error codes. My truck seems to run fine, but i am getting about 7-8 mpg. (very bad!!!)

P551 - Power Steering Switch
P202 & P208 - Injector Circuits malfuction
P171 - Fuel System Running Lean

Before i get down and dirty, has anyone had this combination of codes before with the very bad gas milage as the result??

Looks like your power steering pressure switch is leaking. I bet the fluid is following inside the wire loom around the harness and fouling the upstream O2 sensors connector on the driver side. Change that prseeure switch, clean out the harness and O2 connectors good and try it again. Although it could have ruined the O2 sensor too.
