Hi,
As far as locating a vacuum leak is concerned, here is a link that explains how to check:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-to-use-an-engine-vacuum-gauge
As far as the code is concerned, usually, they start with P0. I suspect that was a typo, but when I checked for a P0173, it wasn't listed for this model.
Could you confirm the code for me?
Let me know.

Hi,
That works. LOL The code is related to a large vacuum leak. If in fact it is a leak, you will be able to find it using the link I attached above.
On the other hand, if there are no leaks found, then suspect it could be a few things. For example, a faulty MAP sensor, wiring issues, the PCM itself, or even the throttle body.
I attached diagnostics below specific to the code. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing them.
Take care,
Joe
