GL450 OB2 code po172 cant fix??
Good Afternoon ladies & gents,
I recently bought a used 2011 GL450 and 1 week after I bought it the service engine soon light came on. bought a scan tool the code it throws at me is PO172 bank 1 Rich. i changed the MAF sensor already and just did the both O2 sensors on the passenger side with the correct parts but the light is still on? I am not a mechanic by any means but I am mechanically inclined. anyways do I drive the car for some mile to see if the PCM re-calibrates and kicks the check engine light off? also not sure if I should change spark plugs also while I am at to see if one of them is not firing correctly but I didn't get that code for a misfire so I am unsure. i was thinking if it doesn't kick off soon should I try a MAP sensor and see if that works?

If you have a 2011 model year, you have an X164. This is the X166 section.
Try posting the question in the X164 section where owners will see it.
Regarding the symptoms I would start throwing parts at it starting with sensors as you have done some of already.
