its not uncommon for a vacuum leak to cause a 172 code.

I'd start by inspecting the lines/trees for cracks etc. You can also spray some cleaner etc to see if any gets sucked in. Then I'd check the intake plumbing and manifold.

Sometimes it requires a smoke test to find the cause...

Some different articles and videos on curing that 172 code.
