DTC 172 can be caused by any leaks in the exhaust system upstream of the O2 sensor. It can also be an indication you have a vacuum leak in the intake system as well. Low fuel pressure from a bad pump, faulty fuel pressure regulator or clogged filter can also cause a lean code. Once those potential causes have been eliminated it may be time to suspect a worn out or contaminated O2 sensor.
