I have a 09 MZ3 Hatch 2,3L with Takeda SRI and I keep getting CEL P2188 (Too Rich on idle at Bank 1)

I tried to retighten all the clamps to make sure everything is nice and tight but still get this error all the time!

Can someone please let me know what's going wrong?


Thanks in advance!

MAF connector wires, check and see if one of the wires broke.

I had one broken before but had it fixed already.

if MAF's are as sensitive on our 3's like they are on VW's proceed with CAUTION!

What I've been told before is to get some electrical contact cleaner (Crappy Tire, Parts Source, etc.) and spray it (or whatever it says to do).

You want to avoid physical contact with the sensor as much as possible.
