P2187 trouble code definition The P2187 OBD - II fault code means the vehicle's on - board computer has detected
a lean fuel mixture at an idle in either Bank 1 or Bank 2 (the...
As explained above, the Engine Control Computer prefers to send more fuel rather then less to avoid
a lean fuel mixture.
Most often a faulty TPS will cause high CO, as an engine's ECU always prefers to send more fuel rather then less, in an effort to avoid
a lean fuel mixture and subsequently higher engine temperatures.

@Ben Two codes for
lean fuel mixture, don't remember the exact code.
The higher octane fuel and compression ratio the more max timing you can set and and slightly
leaner the fuel mixture you jet for.
This induces swirl of the intake charge which improves air / fuel atomization in the cylinder and allows for
a leaner fuel mixture to be used.
