Just curious, after replacing your O2 sensor, did you reset the ECM/PCM?

Try unplugging the ecu and plugging it back in again.

I believe disconnecting the battery does the same thing though.

I'm pretty sure p0172 is picked up by the exhaust manifold o2 sensor - but if your engine IS running rich, just replacing the o2 sensor will not do anything. The CEL will still be thrown.
