Question Any 1 ever get CEL code P0172

Sup all i was driving looking at christmas lights w/ the family and i get a cel, so i get a OBD-II scanner to figure out which code i threw. Its P0172, i look it up it says that System too Rich (Bank 1). The only thing that i could think that cause this is my Blitz BOV. I was wondering if anyone else has thown this code b4. I have never seen this code b4 in my entire 5 months owning my BOV. Thank you, Mario

Scott,

I didn't give the cel a chance to be on for more than 3hrs. As soon as i saw it i had to know. Then i cleared it

San,

The Blitz is venting to 100% atmospher. I can go to 100% recirculate but that just requires slight grinding i don't want to do.

I'm using the APS

BOV for my FMIC and the primary vent is plumbed back to intake. Never have had a cel or lick or trouble with it. It has a secondary vent to atmosphere if the primary isn't large enough. APS uses it on their 600hp race WRX. why did you change the BOV?

Well then,

can you live with the cel? Absolutely sure it's the bov? No other mods that could be suspect?

I don't think the cel will be back for a while. I'm postive its the BOV i did a full on check of everything Hoses connections etc. But the defintion of the code makes absolute sense, it happened as soon as i shifted into 4th. My car runs really rich inbetween shifts, and i got a nice little burp from my car.

Nate here at the shop has a HKS S2 BOF dumping to air and has never gotten a CEL with it. Im not sure if maybe your car is more sensitive to it from different sensors then some cars.

Im not sure if you said the CEL came back on after you cleared it, it might have just been a 1 time deal and the car saw something it didnt like.
