I changed the injectors because my car was idling very bad. It also smellled like gas when it was turned of after riding it. I drove off and the car was idling very low Now my car doesn't start. It turns however. I get the code p0172. I changed the intake temperature sensor as well. What could be the problem. Any help is appreciated

Did you replace the coolant temp sensor? That is where the problem is coming from. It thinks the engine is running in a closed loop. As a result, you are dumping fuel. Pull the fuel pump fuse and see if it will start for a couple seconds.
