hey guys so ever since spring came around and it started hotter iv had this p2187 code (lean at idle) that will not leave ! iv tried clearing it again and again and it wont leave me alone !
I cleaned my o2 sensor cleaned my maf updated my tune changed my plugs gapped them properly .32 switch to 94 octane gas still keeps comming back no matter what ...

I have a hahn cai so i zip tied the oil feeder line like in old thread said to try but still nothing.

You have a boost leak and everytime I see that code on someones car it is a large leak. The last customer who had it had a hole in the plastic end tank the size of a half dollar. Have you bottomed out the front of the car doesn't take much?

No def not that I can remember but I figured it wasent a boost leak because I hold boost up too 22 psi and hold it constent but I didn't look into it I still have stock ic. But that's all other other then that its fully bolted also have coilovers so it is a possibility .

PM DBlock and see if he ever figured out what his solution was to this code.

It's usually a vac leak at the intake or bad fuel trims from an intake.

Yes all the cars I have seen were tuned for the intakes. They had huge boost leaks and throw this code also. Is the op even tuned?
