You need to access OBD II live data as a first step, this will give you an idea if the sensors that affect fueling are giving sensible readings.
However a P 0443 indicates a problem with purge valve control circuit, as a test try disconnecting the purge pipework from the the manifold and capping it off.

P0172 Is Fuel system too rich (bank1)

Need to check things like fuel pressure, map sensor, airmass meter, throttle position sensor etc.

If it is non standard, check that the injectors aren't too big or leaking etc.

Something far wrong with a LTFT 10% or more. A 10% LTFT won't general trigger a fueling code but the emission monitor tests fail will on the cat effectiveness.

Sounds like a vacuum leak which could point to the evap control valve.
