The engine light is on and reads P0172 (too rich). What is the fix?

P0172 Rich Mixture, Typical symptoms of an engine that is running rich (too much fuel, not enough air).

Possible causes include a bad O2 sensor, excessive fuel pressure (bad fuel pressure regulator or plugged return line), leaky fuel injectors, dirty air filter or restricted air inlet, or a defective coolant sensor that prevents the engine management system from going into closed loop mode.
