I have a p0717 AND p0125 code, the engine idles high and is is an unusual amount of fuel. Can thi be caused by a bad ECT? I've checked MOST oy the vacuum lines and they appear to be in good share and the coolant level is normal.

This code you sure its correct or its P0171 the P0125. Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control
could be the caused by the ECT

A lean fuel condition can be caused by:

* Low fuel pressure due to a weak pump or leaky fuel pressure regulator. (Use a fuel pressure gauge to check fuel pressure at idle)

* Dirty fuel injectors. (Try cleaning the injectors)

* Vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, vacuum hose connections or throttle body. (Use a vacuum gauge to check for low intake vacuum)

* Leaky EGR valve. (Check operation of EGR valve)

* Leaky PCV Valve or hose. (Check valve and hose connections)

* Dirty or defective Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF). (Try cleaning the MAF sensor wires or filament with aerosol electronics cleaner. Do NOT use anything else to clean the sensor, and do not touch the sensor wires)
