Default Help Truck Troubles

So I just got home on Spring Break last night and already had a couple of things happen. The first thing was the check engine light came on. It turns out its throwing codes PO172 and PO175 bank systems 1 and 2 rich. I checked under the hood and the air filter was off of the rest of the intake-could this cause that?

Second I think my 6 cd changer broke because its now having trouble loading and ejecting cd's-actually wont do it but makes noises like its trying.

So my questions are what could be the cause of the codes and what will it take to fix them/how much? And also any help with the cd changer is appreciated. I have a 2003 FX4 XLT with the 5.4l v8 with 116,000 miles on it.

Thanks

Most likely there are two cd's in one slot causing it to not eject or accept any cd. It happens all the time with the 6 disc players. You can remove the stereo from the truck. Remove the 4 screws holding the faceplate on the stereo. You can now look inside to see if two cd's are in one slot. You can use a needle nose pliers to remove the cd, it will pull hard. Reinstall the faceplate and reinstall the stereo. I have done this many times with luck. Player will work fine then. Be careful removing the faceplate, there is wiring for the display attached. Reinstall the air intake and reset the PCM memory by disconnecting the battery to clear the rich codes. See if they return.
