Fuel Injector code P0172 'Too Rich'

Wow sorry to hear that. Have you had the ECM recall done? Part of this "emissions recall" also fixed a known bug that caused O2 sensor codes to be set (at least I think). That's a very very early vin number.

Fuel injectors can be cleaned, but it's not necessarily the best fix. You should have shops near you that specialize in injector cleaning. Also, it is best if you do have all the injectors done at once because imbalance between injectors can cause problems down the road. Also, if it really is running too rich that will foul your 02 sensors fairly rapidly.
 
Another thought, after you have some stuff done like Aaron suggested, I'd take it to a shop that specializes in emission repairs and have them run it on their gas analyzer. This could tell you if it is still running rich or not after having it fixed. Like Aaron said, you don't want to foul your catylitic converters, they're almost two grand to have replaced.

Oxygen sensors do wear out over time, but 4 in that period of time is way too many.
