P2178 trouble code: The P2178 trouble code indicates that the system (air-fuel mixture) is too rich when leaving idle. The causes of this fault include a malfunctioning mass air flow sensor or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, excessively high fuel pressure, a faulty fuel pressure regulator, faulty fuel injectors, oxygen sensor failure, or a malfunctioning electronic control module (PCM or ECM). It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected at a 4S shop before clearing the trouble code. 2.

Generally, trouble codes are caused by sensor malfunctions or poor sensor performance, but some mechanical faults cannot be read by the ECU. 3. Engine malfunction: When a car engine malfunctions, a diagnostic tool will display trouble codes. Based on these codes, maintenance personnel can accurately identify the faulty components and proceed with repairs.
