Code PO172 Help

So I keep getting this dang code system too rich bank 1. Replaced upstream O2 sensor, fuel injectors, spark plugs, MAF, cleaned the throttle body too. Any suggestions on where to go from here would be much appreciated. Starting to think a professional diagnosis is in order. Help!

I am just go a throw this out there but you try replacing ur evap valve in ur engine bay? Or the one in ur carbon Box...the one under the hood is cheep the one in the back cost more because you have to bye a new wire harness....just sayin because of open loop and closed loop is evap.

That may be the problem. Generally aftermarket intakes, especially on NA cars, make the car run rich at lower RPM and more at higher RPM.

Thanks for all the help! This is the PCV valve or something different? Never had to replace one before so a little unsure.

No, evap is a fuel related system. The evap purge valve is connected to your valve cover via bracket on the drivers side. I can't post pics on this phone but you can google "cobalt evap" and it'll show ya.

Well, I took the Balt to the best tech I know and let him know of the problems and parts that have been replaced. He gave me an oh crap look and said it won't be today. Hoping for the best...
