Check engine light, Engine Running Rich

I have a 1998 Civic and I got a p0170 and p0172 ecu code on the OBD II readout. Can
anyone help me with what I should be checking out/replacing. Thanks

P0172 Fuel System Too Rich
P0170 - I show no listings in my Helm manual for that code

I don't think a general "tune up" is going to solve your problem. My money rides on a faulty O2 sensor.
