Code 172 and 327
Start the engine and run at 2000 RPM for two minutes to warm sensors. Turn off engine and wait 10 seconds. Install jumper wire, start the engine and let it idle. Watch for the engine identification code. It will be 3 flashes for a six cylinder and 4 flashes for an 8 cylinder. If your vehicle is equipped with the E4OD transmission, press and release the brake pedal immediately after the ID code. This tests the brake on/off switch. If your vehicle is equipped with a power steering pressure sensor (4.9 and 5.0 '87-'90 and '93 5.0 without E4OD) turn the steering wheel at least a half turn and return immediately after the ID code (or after the brake test). Next, watch for a single quick flash. If it occurs, floor the gas pedal and release quickly to perform a wide open throttle test.
Sounds like operator error.
