need help with check engine light
i keep getting the code p0175 which is bank 2 is too rich. i thought i fixed it because its been about 1500 miles since it has came on, about the summer time. ive already cleared it two times because thinking it was a fluke seeing if it would just go away. need some input on what i should do.

95% of the time its caused buy a dirty MAF sensor. Clean your MAF.
What you need to do is go to the local Radio Shack and get a can of spray tuner cleaner, #64-4315. Disconnect the NEGATIVE battery cable and remove the MAF. Spray the inside of the MAF with the tuner cleaner. Be very careful when you spray the hot wire. It is very thin and if it breaks, you will have to replace the MAF. Clean it well and let it air dry for 15 or 20 minutes.
Don't use carburetor or brake cleaner. They leave a residue and you will be right back where you started.
Also replace your fuel filter.....!!
