Mazda MPV

I'd guess by now the problem is fixed; if not, a worn C-V joint might make a similar sound - usually when turning - more than going straight. The notion of the source being loose sway bar bushings, particularly if associated with hitting bumps, is reasonable. I have a somewhat similar sound in one of my sedans that does apper to be caused by loose sway bar bushings.

Cheers, BK

#8221 of 8223 Front end issues and check eng light by tcc21

I have a 2003 with 160K on her. I've had the check eng. light on issue many times. I use to get it cleared just to be sure there wasn't a new issue but it usually is the "bank 1 misfire - cold startup" issue or the catalytic converter issue.
The front end also was replaced under extended warranty around 95K miles. It was a worn tie rod issue. Yes, you do hold your breath with these things! I also would like to hang onto mine two more years. We'll see.

#8222 of 8223 Trying to resolve P2187 and P2189 codes... by mpv2005

Dec 13, 2011 (11:21 pm)

The Check Engine light on my 2005 MPV with 89K miles, has been coming on. I'm getting either P2187 (System too lean at idle bank 1) or P2189 (System too lean at idle bank 2) codes.

I removed the MAFS and sprayed it with electronic contact cleaner, but that did not resolve it.

The CE light sometimes turns off by itself, and it is more likely to come back on when the weather is wet. That leads me to think there may be a bad contact somewhere, but if its not the MAFS, what can it be?

The engine runs fine; idling, cold-start, acceleration, etc are fine.

I'm looking for suggestions on what can be causing the codes before I go to the dealer. Thanks!

Oxygen sensors and IAC valve have been known to be problematic in the MPV.

CE light in wet weather usually means ignition coils. But, you say van runs fine.
