Service Engine Soon Light in my 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS V6 Automatic 6 Speed 4WD P0172 Code what can be wrong?

Just had a Service Engine Soon Light in my 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander XLS V6 Automatic 6 Speed 4WD I went to Autozone they pulled a P0172 MAF sensor running too lean. I need this Outlander to last me atleast until 250,000 miles. What should I fix first in order of importance? How much should a MAF replacement costs?

P0172 is not a MAF sensor code...it's a code for Bank 1 running too rich.
You need a mechanics scan tool to read all the engine data to make sure all the sensors are working with in spec. A sticking fuel injector, lazy 02 sensor, or the timing being off are a couple of things that can cause this.Go to the dealer or you'll just waste money guessing.
