p0172

p0172 is a code that says the system is to rich. Check your fuel supply. or your on board diagnostics for the code. Could also be a bad or going bad oxygen sensor.You should only use Premium Gas of 91 or higher. Fill up tank with good gas and put a can of SEAFOAM in the tank and runit for a couple hundred miles and see if this helps. If this dosnt work try putting a spacer in back o2 sensor or replace the resonator.
