I am having problems with my Taurus. Any help will be appreciated. It is showing codes p0172 and Codes 316. I have cleaned the maf, changed wires, plugs and coil. Had the injectors cleaned. Temp sens has been changed camshaft sensor has been changed. I am getting 40 psi when I check the fuel pressure. The pressure does not change when I acclerate. It stays at 40 psi. There is a very tiny movement of the needle when I check the pressure

316 is missfire on start up. That is the coil failing. Replace it and that should resolve that.
172 is running rich. It could be a bad pressure regulator, leaking injector or a cylinder with low compression. You will need help with that one from a shop.
