P2190 — System Too Rich at Idle (Bank 2)

Fuel trim on bank 2 hits the rich limit only at idle. Often a leaking injector dribbling fuel at low load, a sticky purge valve dumping fuel vapour, or fuel pressure regulator that fails to relieve pressure when intake vacuum is high.

General code reference. Confirm the definition and diagnostic procedure for your vehicle's year, model and engine. A stored code alone does not identify a failed part.

  • Fuel injector
  • Evap purge valve
