Hey all,

Last week i have had a P2187, rich at idle or whatever. I swapped out my plugs and Tmap sensory, issue was good, car runs better.

Than it popped up again, same thing P2187. Had it cleared.

Today, it popped up again when I started it / almost instantly at idle. My AFR is pretty steady at 14.5 and really doesnt go out of whack during normal driving. It boosts fine and holds boost fine, and gas mpg is about right, so I dont think its a boost leak.

Than the weird thing happened that I know has happened to others, I filled up my tank the car struggled to start unless I gave it some gas, and than had to hold it at a little higher revs so It wouldnt stall out. After about a minute or two, i was able to drive off. I got home, let it sit, and than started it up again about 20 minutes later and it started up no problem.

I know this has happened to others, and In my searching I have found a few issues but none really relevant to me exactly, or I just cant find the answer . Anyway, maybe its the purge valve? Let me hear your guesses.

 

Thats a purge solenoid problem,its sticking open
Easy fix and the parts not to pricey.But you have warranty take it in!
Located on the right side of then valve cover its the black thing you first see bolted to the side.

 

See it could be this, but it could also be the purge valve by the gas tank in the rear. Just sad that with that code it could be a lot, your MAF could be messed up, your intake filter, the evap purge solenoid, the tune... lol

 

ugh, not what I wanted to hear haha

 

Got two P0451's today, im guessing it is the purge solenoids,
