I've got a 2006 NC with Cosworth supercharger. and I'm getting fault code P2187 System Too Lean at Idle (Bank 1).

http://www.obd-codes.com/p2187

I've had this fault code occasionally ever since I bought the car a year a go. No other fault codes.

However, it's now started to occur most days so is getting a bit annoying

Car runs great, just get a 'miss' every minute or so when idling; the idle suddenly drops but then catches itself.

The front O2 sensor was changed by the previous owner 18 months ago (in an attempt to fix this fault I would suspect). I've just changed the purge valve and solenoid as apparently these can cause this code.

Has anyone else had this fault code on their NC?

 

Do you have a wideband to see what is going on? Or any sort of datalongging system? If you are getting CEL codes, you must still have a stock ECU.

 

Thanks.

At the weekend I used the Torque Android App and a bluetooth OBD2 reader to get some freeze frame info when idling. It looks like I have Short Term Fuel Trim (STFT) of nearly 18% and Long Term Fuel Trim (LTFT) or over 20%. This seems high to me and possibly the cause of the fault code if the trims max out (25% each) before they can get the fueling rich enough,
