P0172 code, sputter at idle, cold start related
I keep throwing a p0172 code (bank 1 running rich) I can clear code but once I start the car after it has sat in the cold all day at work at first car runs fine but after about 30 seconds I start to feel a sputter at idle and I throw the same exact code over.. I've tried searching but can find a stright answer only mod I have are the oiled air filters, any idea as to what this can be? I was thinking maybe MAF need to be cleaned due to the oil from the filters... Help please car runs fine once I start driving I just want to fix the problem without replacing a bunch of parts

Also I did do the sea foam treatment just to see if it cleared things up a bit, and when i did a cold start a few hours later things seemed to have cleared up, but I will only know for sure tomorrow mornkng once I get a true cold start.

Yes. I doubt seafoam fixed you car but it can't hurt.

Def cleaned some out, but didn't smoke as bad as I thought it would. But still didn't help, ses light is back on and I'm still pulling my hair, I will be checking g the Injectors next, anyone know how these can be tested without pulling the spark plugs?

The easiest way to test for a leaking injector is to pull the plugs... Takes like 30 minutes

i had the same problem, it only happened on a cold start in the morning from my car sitting over night, injector would leak and have a hard time starting and when it did it ran rough for a little then went away. changed injector and problem solved.. but yes pull the spark plug youll notice it right away
