PO172 code after Cylinder Head replacement

I had a cracked cylinder head fixed and replaced the water pump, timing belt, fuel injectors (rebuilt). Also a few months ago I replaced the spark plugs and wires. I now have a PO172 code with System too rich bank 1. I cleaned the MAF and no help on the code. I understand one of the rebuilt injectors could be leaking fuel. How do you test for the bad one? Thanks Dave

The best way to test is using a multimeter to measure resistance at each injector. We have high impedance injectors so if one is significantly lower than the rest that's your leaky injector.
 
Drive it a while and look at each spark plug. The one with the darkest signature is the cylinder running rich.

Had a po 171, I found the throttle body gasket in upside down, did you pull that off?

Why did you replace the Injectors?

I did not remove the throttle body. I replaced the injectors because the had 250,000 miles on them and I had the engine stripped down. Dave

Where did you get the injectors from? If you still have your old injectors I would put those back in and see what your fuel trims are.
