PO172 (System Too Rich, Bank 1)
Can anyone tell me more in depth what this code means, and more importantly, how to fix it? The guy at AutoZone only told me the O2 sensor, but wouldn't really give me any more information than that. They also wanted like $350 for it!! Is this normal? I need suggestions, please!

How would I do that? I also heard that if there is a vacuum leak you would know, because the car would idle rough or run really bad? My engine runs really great, just like it did 10 years ago. Just wondering. Thanks!

Sometimes spraying Carb cleaner around the hoses and connections will find it. Others you have to add pressure from the air induction hose to find them.
