Default 95 w/ several codes

I have a 1995 chevy blazer 4x4 with the codes p0172, p0401 and p1133 showing. What do these codes stand for? I was told that I have a bad oxygen sensor somewhere. If I do, where are they located and can I change these myself?

P0172 - Fuel Trim System Rich Bank 1
P0401 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected
P1133 - HO2S Insufficient Switching Bank 1 Sensor 1

I would start with a fuel pressure test. If you have a leaking nut kit or a bad FPR, it can cause a rich condition and the insufficient switching on the O2 sensor.

Your EGR valve may be faulty as well. Try removing it and cleaning it and the ports that lead to/from it.
