You need to have someone scan the OBD system and tell you if the fuel trim is at the upper or lower limit. Then you will need to fault trace from the following list Possible source

  • Upper limit:
    intake air leakage
    exhaust system air leakage
    defective heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)
Lower limit:
  • intake air leakage
    high fuel pressure
    leaking injectors
    defective mass air flow (MAF) sensor
    contaminated engine oil
    oil level too high
    defective heated oxygen sensor (HO2S)

Do you disc?

It means the switch is bad. It stands for disconnected. The contacts in the selector switch get bad over time. When it does it again jiggle the switch and it will go away. You will need to replace the swith to fix your problem

SOURCE: Check engine light came on and is giving codes

check for a broken vacuum hose or vacuum fitting(s). you can use a can of spray carb cleaner. while running the engine use the spray to test hoses and fittings. give a little squirt to suspected areas. The idle speed will change when you find a vacuum leak. pay particular attention to the hose to the MAP sensor. There may be a problem with the elelctrical connection to the map sensor, or the sensor itself may be bad.

SOURCE: Good day. My Volvo XC90 has check engine on, and

It means the engine is running rich (too much petrol) at idle speed. It probably has a rough idle now? The most common cause seems to be the Mass Air Flow - MAF - sensor at fault. It will need to be cleaned or replaced if so.

I have a 2005 Volvo S40 T5. Bosch diagnostic error codes 290C, 280B, 2900, 290B & 280C, fuel pressure sensor related. No loss of power or misfire, car goes nicely. Should a part be repalced? Thanks!

Not a mechanic, but do you know what the codes mean?? May be nothing to worry about may just need resetting or a minor error accursed and righted itself and just letting you know it has happened unless you know meaning of codes ask your garage or look on line may get some help,advise or better options.

P2188 System Too Rich at Idle (Bank 1) On a Chevy Aveo I have heard 2 different things that cause this code, 1. Check for any vacuum leaks in the intake , and 2. Check for oil bypass in the cylinders, Personally I don't know which is correct , But figured I could give you an area to check , Good Luck
