P0172 could be a few issues, A poor performing O2 sensor can cause a rich condition. Also an injector sticking open can cause a rich condition. I would start with a throttle body cleaning and a top engine clean (I love Sea foam) it has the least side effects, run the injector cleaning ( IT MAY SMOKE OUT THE EXHAUST LARGE CLOUDS) dont be alarmed. This is a good thing. Wait a day or so to clear the codes, because the top engine clean may very well set a code anyways.
I replaced the injectors with refurbished. I also replaced MAP sensor, o2 sensor, crank position sensor, ICM, PCM, plugs, plug wires, coils and some other things I have forgotten I am sure. Oh, fuel pump and fuel filter/regulator on this model - replaced twice. Some of the problems I was trying to solve were this - other problems happened too. Fuel pressure test today - 60 lbs - a little high while iddling - I can't get it over 2000 rpm or it dies. Decay is high from 60 to 40 then less than 8 lbs after 40 in 5 minutes. I would take it to a mechanic, but I am broke. One of the mechanics recommended here has been recommended to me by a neighbor. If I hit the lottery - that's where I'll go.
If you have very littls fuel pressure after the fuel pump gets h9t, it is very likely a fuel pump.
