P0172 Code: Is Your Car Running Too Rich?

The repercussions of P0172 can be quite awful, impacting both the drivability and efficiency of your vehicle. As the code suggests, the fuel mixture in bank 1 (which generally refers to the cylinders on one side of the engine) is excessively rich, meaning there is an abundance of fuel compared to the amount of air entering the combustion chamber. This imbalance can lead to a range of undesirable effects, such as reduced fuel economy, rough idling, stalling, decreased power, and even potential damage to the engine or catalytic converter.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PERFECTLY WONDERFULLY VIDEO FOR MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INDICATOR AND FAULT CODE PROBLEM! NOW I KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND NOT TO BE SCAMMED BY SKETCHY MECHANICS WHEN I SEND MY BMW FOR THIS REPAIR

My car failed smog due to "too rich bank 1." AutoZone machine suggested replacing "mass air flow" sensor, which I did, and now I'm hoping the 'check engine' light stays off 🤞
