p0172 after p0300
Thursday, February 08, 2007 8:26 PM
ok i have a 03 cavy and last week i had a p0300 (random misfire) code pop up replaced the coils then found out it was the ICM that was bad...so got the one from napa. the missfire is gone, but after i cleared the code at autozone i went to work and after work i noticed the CEL was on again. so today i took it back to autozone and a p0172 (system too rich bank 1) came up. i run 91 or 93 octane fuel, the cavy only has 41,xxx miles on it, and it is completely stock minus the spark plugs, and the replacement parts i just mentioned. i replaced the spark plugs about 4000 miles ago (in october) and i could tell that it was running rich then cuz they was black and smelled really bad of fuel. autozone said it could be the MAF, O2 sensor, injectors, misfire, or a vacuum line.

any ideas

thankx guys

Sounds like 1 primary O2 sensor is shot. Needs replacing, Could take a look at the wiring harness, It could be messed up. Or you just got a faulty O2 sensor.
